Abstract

Recent statistics suggest that the current campus climate across the United States does not fully support inclusivity of students of marginalized groups, as one aspect of student wellness. In this manuscript, the authors review current literature on the experiences of marginalized student groups, focusing on injustices experienced by Muslim students on today’s campuses. The authors acknowledge the current collaborate efforts that many college counselors are putting forth to promote a more inclusive campus environment, while also recognizing that marginalization of students is still present on campuses nationwide. Further, the manuscript will address concerns with student wellness in the Muslim student population by highlighting the impact inclusion has on holistic student wellness. In summary, the authors outline opportunities for college counselors to notice the negative impact of injustice on student wellbeing, engage in collaboration focused on creating inclusivity campus-wide, provide diversity education for their campuses, and reflect on their own personal and professional experiences.
