| Abstract: |
This paper explores how first-year college students engage with formalized social activities and programs that foreground religious, spiritual, and secular (RSS) diversity. By using a latent class analysis of a nationally representative sample of first-year students, the authors describe a typology of five classes of students and outline each group’s defining characteristics. Implications for educators interested in optimizing RSS engagement for all students are discussed.
