Students explore the social and cultural factors, as well as the personal and communal practices, that contribute to or impede students' sense of belonging at college. In particular, this cocurricular experience focuses on the student experience of belonging at Boston University. Students draw upon secondary sources, first-person testimonies, observation, and personal experience to consider the ways in which beliefs, systems, and practices foster or prevent a sense of belonging. They also examine their role in creating a sense of belonging for themselves and others. Effective Summer 2020, this Hub cocurricular fulfills a single unit in the following BU Hub area: The Individual in Community.
