Abstract:
|
Building Sense of Belonging Through First Year Student Advising
In a recent climate survey, university students were asked, 'Why Did You Seriously Consider Leaving?' The #1 reason STEM students considered leaving was 'lack of a sense of belonging'. Participants will be provided a blueprint for developing and maintaining connectedness and a sense of belonging with first year students through an enhanced advising program. Presenters will share how the program was developed, implemented and adjusted throughout the year. Discussion includes results of an IRB approved study conducted to assess students' experiences and outcomes. We will examine changes in involvement and belonging over time, differences between students in the pilot program and non-pilot students, results by demographic subgroups such as gender, race/ethnicity, and first generation status, and feedback from students on their experiences with the advising program. |
