The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the experiences of undergraduate students engaged in political activism. The research question "How do undergraduate students who attend universities describe political activism, engagement, and acceptance on campus?" was used to guide the data collection process. A basic qualitative research methodology was used, including semistructured interview questions to collect information and NVivo qualitative analysis software to analyze the data. Constructivism and critical theory served as the theoretical framework. For this study, a sample of 10 undergraduate students from a university in the southcentral United States volunteered to participate. The participants were at least 18 years old and had experiences with political activism. The focus of the study was on their definition of political activism, involvement, and perceived acceptance among students and higher education leaders. Findings revealed undergraduate students are motivated by complicated topics, such as racism, police brutality, voting rights, and gender equality. In addition, the participants shared their experiences with higher education leaders regarding political activism. The findings may be useful to students thinking about participating in political activism and higher education leaders in understanding political activism among students.
