Sense of belonging includes fit in the academic discipline, beingrespected and valued by peers, in the research group, by the faculty, and program representatives.Wellness initiatives not only lead to more engaged and productive students, the initiatives areassociated with increased retention and completion rates (Okahana, H., Allum, J., Felder, P.P., &Tull, R.G. 2016). Creating a thriving culture also enhances recruitment and increases enrollment.Mind, body, and spirit are integral to both health and

. Page 24.1387.2The AIChE Concept Warehouse was designed to lower one of the biggest barriers that preventsinstructors from using concept-based instruction: access to high quality conceptquestions. Construction of good concept questions is often difficult and time-intensive4. TheConcept Warehouse alleviates this barrier by giving instructors access to a variety of conceptquestions in the core chemical engineering curriculum along with providing a variety of ways toutilize these questions in their courses. Instructors can either assign these questions as homeworkor use them in class as part of active learning pedagogies (e.g. peer instruction). If using conceptquestions in class, the instructor can have students respond using their clickers

Tinto writes that, “For some students, especially thosewho, in the past, had struggled in school, the collaborative environment of the learningcommunity provided a safe place, a smaller knowable place of belonging, in which they werevalued and in which they discovered they could learn.”2 In subsequent evaluations, Tinto alsoidentified academic and social support networks as crucial components of student retention.3Laboratory projects can provide students with both
