The lowest finding, at 48% of students indicating "agree/strongly agree" was for "Exploring own background through assignments" suggested Student Affairs work with various academic areas to expand this course opportunity. With the support of various academic departments, faculty were encouraged to include assignments where self-reflection and exploration about individual racial, ethnic, religious, political, sexual, national, and gender identities were explored, along with intersectionality of those identities. Other results were similarly evaluated and appropriate changes were offered and implemented.
