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, and retention. Group meetings will occur monthly during the semester.

Register for the reading circle here and the FDC will send you a copy of the book before our first session.
