The Center for Professional Excellence is offering a newly-launched Lumen Learning webinar series: Creating Belonging for All Students.
The goal of this series is to amplify diverse student voices, shining a light on their unique experiences to improve campus communities and create more inclusive environments for all. The series focuses on aspects of college students’ sense of belonging as it relates to historically underrepresented and resilient identities, and explores why creating a sense of belonging is integral to both student and faculty success. Through the valuable student perspective, participants will leave with actionable steps they can implement immediately to increase their students’ sense of belonging.
To commemorate Black History Month, the first webinar on Wednesday, Feb. 23 at 1 p.m.The webinar,
Shining a Light on Identity and Belonging for Black College Students
Wednesday, Feb. 23 at 1 p.m.
The first webinar commemorates Black History Month and features a panel of Black students who will discuss Black identity, belonging in the campus community, when they have felt a strong sense of belonging within the campus community, and what can be done to increase Black students’ sense of belonging in the classroom and within the campus community. It is important to note that while the first webinar centers on Black students’ voices, as an organization Lumen recognizes that the assets and excellence of the Black student experience are infused in all other Belonging webinars as well.
