What strategies work best to ensure that college students from underrepresented groups persist in their studies while feeling they belong? How are colleges in the New England region supporting students – particularly students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC), first-generation, or low income? How are colleges bringing men and other underrepresented demographic groups back to campus this year? Please join us on Thursday, January 13, 2022, 1 - 2:30 pm ET.

We will engage in open and curious conversations to further explore key challenges and identify promising practices. By taking part in this event, participants will:

- Connect with a learning community and take a closer look at how colleges are creating a culture of caring and engagement;
- Identify creative and cost-effective strategies to strengthen students’ sense of belonging;
- Deepen connections with colleagues doing similar work; and
- Help the New England MHTTC develop training and technical assistance activities that will address priority needs.
