Cornerstones of Belonging: Lunch & Learn

Audience

Overview

Join us for the inaugural session of the Cornerstones of Belonging series, which will introduce a framework for understanding and advancing community and belonging on campus.

The initial Lunch & Learn session will focus primarily on the Unwritten Curriculum—the implicit norms, expectations, practices, and assumed knowledge that influence how students understand and navigate the campus environment. We will explore how these often-unspoken elements of campus life can shape students’ experiences, sense of connection, and capacity to fully participate in the academic community.

The session will also introduce the 8 Cornerstones of Belonging that will serve as the framework for the Cornerstones of Belonging and guide future conversations and learning experiences. During this and future sessions, participants will explore how intentional practices can foster a more inclusive and connected campus community.
