Abstract
In-depth interviews examined underrepresented students’ experiences with campus climate and microaggressions. Different patterns reflecting types of microaggressions, outcomes of experiencing microaggressions, and factors buffering against microaggressions by identity were identified. Implications of patterns for support and change regarding microaggressions on college campuses are discussed.
