Community Belonging

The department of Community Belonging is located in the Clement Building at the Wilbur N. Daniel Center. We offer educational and social programming that fosters a sense of belonging and provides opportunities for development through campus connection, co-curricular engagement, and relationship-building. The department’s focus is both intellectual and relational in cultivating a university community that proactively engages in collaborative innovation, solution-based critical thinking, and global social responsibility.
