Abstract
What does it mean to belong? What factors influence students’ sense of belonging? Through a student-ready college and transfer receptive culture framework grounded in student agency and autonomy, we explore factors transfer students of color identify as impacting their sense of belonging. Transfer students have important insights on the factors influencing all students’ sense of positive and negative belonging—and what educators can do to facilitate belonging as a student success initiative.
