The purpose of this study is to understand how Black undergraduate students feel their involvement in extracurricular activities (ECAs) affects their academic success, personal growth, and sense of identity. It also looks at how cultural relevance plays a role in these outcomes. By gathering information through surveys and focus groups, the study aims to uncover connections between ECA participation, cultural influences, and student experiences. The findings will add to research on the experiences of Black students at predominantly white institutions (PWIs), focusing on both the positive impacts and challenges of participating in ECAs at these institutions.
