Advisor: Dr. Michael Stebleton
Abstract:
This study explores eleven undergraduate White men's sense of belonging at a predominantly white institution. Using post-intentional phenomenological methodology participants were asked about sense of belonging prior to enrolling in the institution, while taking a diversity course, and how their sense of belonging was impacted after taking their diversity course.

The University of Minnesota campuses were built on the traditional homelands of the Dakota and Ojibwe, and scores of other Indigenous peoples who have walked on these lands from time immemorial. It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to improve and strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We also acknowledge that words are not enough. We must ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
