Opis

Belonging is a crucial part of the college experience. It can affect a student's degree of academic achievement, or even whether they stay in school. Although much is known about the causes and impact of sense of belonging in students, little is known about how belonging differs based on students' social identities, such as race, gender, or sexual orientation, or the conditions they encounter on campus. College Students' Sense of Belonging　addresses these student sub-populations and campus environments. Underpinned by theory and research, this important book offers readers practical guidelines for improving educational environments, practices, and policies and provides a conceptual model for helping students belong and thrive. New to this 2^nd Edition:

• Updated examples and testimonials reflecting the recent campus climate.
• Chapters updated throughout with new research.
• New coverage of additional student groups: undocumented students, veterans, and non-traditional students.
