Increased diversification of the collegiate student body has given rise to minority serving institutions with a significant growth of Hispanic Serving institutions and amplifies the need for greater institutional accountability to create focused efforts that facilitate college persistence and success of Latinx students. This qualitative study explored the experiences and meaning making process of Latinx undergraduates, attending a California State University designated as a Hispanic serving institution, and their engagement with the Latinx Cultural Center on their campus. Latina/o Critical Race Theory and concepts of racial microaffirmations and sense of belonging provided the theoretical framework from which to ground the study and analysis of semi-structured interviews with 18 Latinx undergraduate students. Findings indicate Latinx students seek community on their college campuses for a variety of reasons that are inextricably linked to their racial/ethnic identity. Furthermore, the Latinx Cultural Center provided the community students were in search of and cultivated racial microaffirmations for Latinx students, through interactions with center staff and peers as well the physical center space that supported participants' development of a sense of belonging. These racial microaffirmations took the form of visual, linguistic, and familial verbal and nonverbal strategies that asserted to the participants that their racial/ethnic identities, their lived experiences, their cultural ties are recognized and valued. Implications for postsecondary institutions and educational leaders, and recommendations for policy, practice and research are provided to examine ways to improve educational outcomes for all students.
