The NACCC conducted a survey in fall 2020 among 637 Cuesta students, focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues. The survey revealed insights on racial demographics, feelings of mattering and affirmation, cross-racial engagement, and areas for improvement. Key findings include varying levels of mattering and affirmation among different racial groups, as well as opportunities to enhance cross-racial engagement on campus. Recommendations include conducting a campus space audit and creating intentional opportunities for cross-racial dialogue.
