While colleges and universities continue to expand programming and student engagement opportunities, many students still struggle to develop the meaningful relationships that foster a true sense of belonging. Research consistently shows that students who feel connected to their campus community are more likely to engage, persist, thrive academically, and achieve positive well-being outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJoin us on September 25, 2026 when we will examine student loneliness through the lens of student development theory, helping participants understand why students connect, disengage, or struggle to find community throughout their college experience. Rather than focusing solely on individual interventions, you will explore how you can intentionally design environments, programs, and everyday interactions that strengthen belonging and create authentic connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGrounded in research and foundational theories, this session will bridge theory and practice with actionable strategies that can be implemented across campus. You will leave with practical approaches for evaluating existing initiatives, fostering meaningful relationships, and creating a campus culture where students feel seen, valued, supported, and connected from orientation through graduation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTopics Covered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLeave the webinar prepared with strategies to confidently:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eRecognize student loneliness as an institutional challenge rather than solely an individual student concern, allowing you to shift from reactive support to proactive strategies that foster connection and belonging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eStrengthen students' sense of belonging by applying student development theory to campus programs, services, and everyday interactions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eEvaluate existing campus programs, traditions, and student experiences through the lens of belonging, identifying opportunities to strengthen meaningful relationships, rather than simply increase attendance or engagement metrics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDesign intentional evidence-informed experiences that support students during critical transition periods and reduce feelings of isolation and disconnection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eIdentify practical, scalable strategies that can be implemented regardless of institutional size or resources to create campus environments where students feel seen, valued, and connected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDevelop an action plan for assessing and strengthening your institution's approach to student belonging, using research and best practices to create sustainable, long term change.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePresenter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"100x100\" width=\"100x100\" style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 10px; float: left;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/5171\/1405\/files\/Sara_Weinstein_Circle.png?v=1773248842\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Sara Lockwood\u003c\/strong\u003e serves as the Dean of Student Engagement at Longwood University, where she provides strategic leadership for student engagement initiatives that foster connection, belonging, leadership development, and student success. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/paper-clip.com\/pages\/presenter-bio-sara-weinstein\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here for full bio.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInvite your entire team for one low price!\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive 75-minute online session with carefully selected expert(s)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlimited access for your entire team to view webinar recording for two years \u003cem\u003e(available after live event)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials for your team (handouts, discussion questions, etc.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of completion for each participant\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 75%;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eInstructions for live webinar access for your group are provided to you immediately upon checkout.
