The Networks and Cultural Assets Project (NCA) is a research initiative that examines how students draw on their cultural wealth and social relationships as they navigate college, career development, and life transitions. Using survey and interview instruments grounded in Yosso’s (2005) Community Cultural Wealth framework, the project documents the skills, knowledge, and dispositions students develop through their families, communities, cultures, and lived experiences. By centering students’ assets rather than deficits, NCA challenges long-standing approaches to research and programming that overlook the strengths students already bring with them to higher education.
