Abstract
Using narrative survey data, this article examines how students define an art-infused university. Data was collected from two mid-sized public universities located in the U.S. Midwest. Our findings include themes related to increased opportunities for students’ engagement in the arts, additional resources to support creativity and learning, and a campus-wide culture that shows appreciation for the arts. Understanding how students define an arts-infused university is one step in allocating university resources in ways that align with students’ vision. Future research may explore the extent to which investing in the arts may help attract and retain students.
