However, far less is known from contemporary research-based studies about the role involvement plays in college students' sense of belonging across a diverse array of student populations. Written by one of the most prolific and contemporary scholars in the academic study of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, Students' Sense of Belonging and Involvement in College highlights the impact of involvement in various campus contexts on students' success. This practical and accessible book is a must-have resource for higher education and student affairs professionals, scholars, and graduate students interested in how student involvement as a driver of belonging can result in institutional transformation.
