They define students with marginalized identities as first-generation students, students of color, women, veterans, non-traditional students, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, international students, students with disabilities, and any other students who have otherwise struggled with impostor syndrome and the implicit expectation that they assimilate to dominant cultural norms, and change who they are to “fit in.”
