For years I've said belonging begins with mattering: the feeling that someone notices you, cares that you're here. upei.ca's "Start with Hello" puts that into everyday practice. Small act, big science. 👋🏾 www.upei.ca/communicatio... #belongingmatters #edchat #coaching #leadership

UPEI launches “Start with Hello” campaign to build connection and belonging across campus
This fall, the University of Prince Edward Island is encouraging students, faculty, and staff to embrace the power of connection through a new campus-wide initiative called “Start with Hello.”

Every hurt is not trauma—but trauma is real, and understanding the difference matters. In this new 6-minute explainer, I break down what trauma is, what it isn’t, why it can affect people differently, and practical ways adults can cope, heal, and move forward. ▶️youtu.be/IupHskjgwNA

What if belonging isn’t the “soft stuff” in education—but part of the solution to absenteeism, burnout, mental health & achievement? Belonging isn’t something people simply find. It’s something we create. Read more: pillarsofpeace.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/file/Terrell...

📚 New Book Shows Why Belonging Is Higher Ed's Greatest Tool for Student Success 📚 The evidence is crystal-clear. The biggest predictor of college success isn't just what students know or 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸. It's whether they feel like they belong. Period. 📖 Available now: bit.ly/SOBInvolve

📚 IT’S OFFICIAL: NEW BOOK IS OUT! For more than two decades (I know, I know lol), my research has centered on a simple but profound question: What helps students succeed in college? Again and again, the evidence points to one answer: belonging. 📖 It's available now: bit.ly/SOBInvolve

📚 IT’S OFFICIAL: MY NEW BOOK IS HERE! As I write in the opening essay, "it's been a long road, bringing this book to fruition." A real labor of love. Here’s the big idea: Belonging isn’t just something students feel—it’s something colleges and universities must intentionally create.
