Dr. Rich Milner explores ways to design and cultivate interactions, experiences, policies, and practices that foster environments where people feel a deep, robust, and sustained sense of belonging. When people have a sense of belonging in a classroom, school, and/or community, engagement, interests, and outcomes tend to improve. Centering on issues of equity and justice, this lecture will help those in attendance think about and construct tools to help all find value and connection and increase academic, social, and professional success.
Presented by the University of Lynchburg and the College of Education, Leadership Studies, and Counseling.
