Belonging is a central component of culture, but what role does an organization's systems play in shaping that culture of belonging?

In this episode, Dr. Erin Halligan-Avery speaks with Dr. Nicole Alioto about her experiences across the P-20 education continuum and nonprofit agencies regarding the positive outcomes that are impacted when people can navigate systems, access support, and feel that their needs are anticipated and respected.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• how belonging looks for middle and high school students compared to college students,
• what belonging means for staff and creating connections,
• what are the ways organizations can improve systems to improve an individual's sense of belonging, and
• what results can be impacted when belonging is present or not present.
