For all of the great programs and resources we can offer, the foundation for a sense of belonging among our students starts with …
a quick response to that emailed question,
a conversation with an advisor that helps them know what they need to do next,
and a clear understanding of what’s expected of them in class.
Belonging comes from layers of interaction, involvement, and mattering. But it’s built on a foundation of responsive people and clear systems.
