Belonging is a potent force on today’s campuses. It impacts students’ well-being, engagement and campus success, giving them a reason to stay. Yet, it’s not just up to students to find their place. 

Instead, it’s about fostering an inclusive campus culture of belonging where everyone can thrive, everyone is heard and everyone has ownership. Student learners need to be at the center of our efforts, as we work to build campuses that feel like home to all.

We’ve developed Creating a Campus Culture of Belonging to guide you in this important work.

Belonging and DEI
Incorporating belonging into campus diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts is becoming the norm on today’s campuses. It’s a form of shared equity leadership, making that sense of home, place, responsibility and value come to life. When students don’t feel like they belong, facing microaggressions and other forms of racism, the extra cognitive energy they expend can get in the way of their academic and personal success.
