This book explores how belonging differs based on students' social
identities, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, or the
conditions they encounter on campus. Belonging-with peers, in the
classroom, or on campus-is a critical dimension of success at
college. It can affect a student's degree of academic adjustment,
achievement, aspirations, or even whether a student stays in
school. The 2nd Edition of College Students' Sense of Belonging
explores student sub-populations and campus environments, offering
readers updated information about sense of belonging, how it
develops for students, and a conceptual model for helping students
belong and thrive. Underpinned by theory and research and offering
practical guidelines for improving educational environments and
policies, this book is an important resource for higher education
and student affairs professionals, scholars, and graduate students
interested in students' success. New to this second edition: A
refined theory of college students' sense of belonging and review
of current literature in light of new and emerging theories;
Expanded best practices related to fostering sense of belonging in
classrooms, clubs, residence halls, and other contexts; Updated
research and insights for new student populations such as youth
formerly in foster care, formerly incarcerated adults, and homeless
students; Coverage on a broad range of topics since the first
edition of this book, including cultural navigation, academic
spotting, and the "shared faith" element of belonging.
