Motivating Engagement, Belonging, and Success in Higher Education Student Experience

Creating engagement in the school system fosters success and belonging. This is essential for enhancing the student experience especially in higher education. Students who feel connected to their institution, supported by peers and faculty, and empowered in their academic and personal pursuits are more likely to excel both inside and outside the classroom. By cultivating a sense of belonging, universities can help students overcome challenges, build meaningful relationships, and unlock their full potential. With the emergence of distance learning, students motivations and sense of belonging have diminished over the years. Lack of motivation has led to more students dropping out and not completing their degrees. Motivating students through engagement will help them finish their degrees and pursue their careers. Universities use of engagement and use of tools to help students in higher education to feel belonging is a great asset in helping students to feel like they belong and motivate them to finish their degrees. Motivating Engagement, Belonging, and Success in Higher Education Student Experience expands the discourse on ways universities can help engage their students in higher education. This book uses research based and real-world applications of student success stories that have positively impacted students engagement. Covering topics such as digital community building, learning styles, and student experience, this book is an excellent resource for educators, policymakers, administrators, researchers, academicians, and more.
