Article: “Black enrollment is up at this university thanks to this service that aids student belonging” in University Business (November 29, 2023)

Excerpt: “As vital as institutions’ support services are to cultivating student belonging, many miss the mark, especially among Black students and other persons of color. Thanks in part to feeling a lack of belonging, Black students have lower six-year college completion rates, according to the Lumina Foundation.
