Spring 2023

Foster a Campus-Wide  

Sense of Belonging

Phase 1
Learn

Our Spring 2023 professional learning offering brought together stakeholders working in faculty, staff, and leadership roles across campus. The cohort completed an ACUE course to earn a Microcredential focused on Fostering a Campus-Wide Sense of Belonging

Phase 2
Collaborate

In-person collaborations served to build community and break through silos on campus. They participated in activities to illuminate the importance of flexible thinking and disucssed barriers and opportunities to fostering a sense of belonging for all campus members.


Phase 3
Implementation

The cohort's work culminated in the development of a needs analysis centering on developing a sense of belonging in their sphere of influence. The needs analysis included a gap and PESTLE analysis to support the development of a plan that can be implemented in the Fall of 2023. 

The Needs Assessments provided a framework for collecting and analyzing data, and helped cohort members to align their planning goals and strategies using data. This assessment enabled them to develop targeted interventions that support a culture of inclusion and belonging in their sphere of influence. Planning also included a timeline for implementation and an evaluation plan.

Members of the cohort had the option of sharing their work. Cohort members who granted permission to share their needs analyses and sense of belonging plans are linked below.

Student Success Strategies

Overview

Faculty and staff earned a Microcredential in the ACUE course, Inspiring Inquiry and Preparing Lifelong Learners. In the course, faculty, expanded their ability to motivate students, provide clarity of expectations, develop self-directed learners, and more. Staff members who work closely with students in units across campus learned strategies that transfer from the classroom to student support department work.

Eighteen participants met periodically throughout the course in face-to-face collaborations. They learned how to apply the Rapid Prototyping Process to a short-cycle student success strategy exploration. Many of the participants share their exploration below.
