  2. Foster Collective Language and Programs
    • Partner with student organizations, faculty, and staff to create events that focus on students belonging at Missouri S&T.
  3. Strengthen Support Systems For All Students

  4. Encourage Community Engagement
    • Host workshops and training sessions for all students, staff, and faculty to build community.
    • Promote active participation in campus-wide initiatives that focus on inclusion and engagement.
  5. Measure and Showcase Progress
    • Conduct annual surveys and focus groups to gather feedback from all students on their sense of belonging on campus.
    • Share progress and success stories regularly with the campus community to demonstrate commitment and accountability.
