Recent attention to reports of racial bias and the vestiges of slavery and segregation on Ivy Leagues campuses raises concerns about physical and psychological safety of Students of Color attending these elite colleges and universities. This qualitative study centers the voices of 14 Black students attending five different Ivy League Institutions and contextualizes the impact of experiencing racism and racially motivated incidents on students' sense of belonging. Findings illustrate the ways students' experiences traversing the campus physical environment and engaging with others in academic and communal campus spaces, continue to be influenced by racist campus histories and racial bias against Black people. Consequently, students navigated experiences of "everyday racism" and grappled with institutional responses that served to invalidate their experiences and undermine their sense of belonging on campus. Institutional leaders must continue to establish specific, timely strategies to acknowledge, assess, and address racialized tensions within the collegiate environment in order to achieve the true benefits of racial diversity in higher education.
