Building a sense of social belonging

This is a free, evidence-based online programme designed to support a sense of belonging on campus to improve engagement, retention, and achievement for students at colleges and universities. The programme aims to help all students view challenges encountered in the transition to higher education as normal and improvable, so that they are more able to remain socially and academically engaged in the face of challenges.
