Brainstorm creative ways to support student belonging and retention in the face of social distancing and the pandemic.

Overview

We know that a sense of belonging is a crucial factor when it comes to student success and retention—but what does that look like during a global pandemic?

Join us for this virtual training to hear how our expert speaker is:

  • Integrating lessons learned from his time working on retention at St. Cloud State University
  • Using these lessons to inform the collaborative approach Bowling Green State University is taking to build a sense of community for students by focusing on flexibility, communication, and belonging in a socially distanced world

Be part of this interactive conversation to share and brainstorm creative ways you can support student belonging through connections with faculty, staff, and other students.
