Leadership Workshop: Cultivating Belonging and Connection within your Student Organization

As a student leader, you are likely thinking about the experience your group members are having. It is just as important to prioritize feelings of belonging and connection among members of your group, as it is to get work done and events planned. In fact, a lack of connection is a contributing factor to poor outcomes among groups. In this session you will learn tangible skills in creating a strong group dynamic that fosters belonging and connection in line with the Health Promoting Campus Belonging and Connection guidelines.
