Overcome Competing Priorities & Distractions to Increase Engagement & Belonging

How do you get students to genuinely engage in the campus culture?

Overcoming student engagement challenges requires a multifaceted approach, including improved communication, thoughtful event planning, inclusive programming, and efforts to build a strong sense of community and belonging amongst students.

The reasons students don’t engage are varied and familiar: time constraints, competing priorities, social anxiety, digital distractions and a lack of desire to connect socially. Overcome those challenges by building a strong sense of community that reinforces your students’ decision to come to your institution in the first place.
