Professional Development: The growing salience of belonging in higher education settings plays a critical role in a student’s well-being, success, and performance. Student belonging is centered around their feelings of acceptance, mattering, and respect. Research reflects that sense of community is essential for student achievement. This presentation will give a brief overview of sense of belonging in higher education and share strategies on how to increase community connect on our campuses.
