The survey explores three dimensions: 1) general belonging, 2) belonging ineducational interactions, and 3) self-efficacy, each with eight items. The survey coversvarious aspects of the institution's student services, including psychological support,academic planning, tutoring, health and well-being services, sports, and supplementary areaslike leadership, diversity, gender, and participatory meetings. It totals 29 items. Respondentsexpressed their views using a 5-point Likert scale, from "strongly agree" to "stronglydisagree."

Additional weeds were cleared during the plantingparty. During both weeding and planting parties, the faculty member taught students about thefunction of the green roof and the issues caused by lack of maintenance.

To facilitate that, we utilized the InterculturalDevelopment Inventory (IDI) Instrument [12]. The goal of incorporating the InterculturalDevelopment Inventory (IDI) training was to equip mentors to successfully connect with andempower increasingly diverse mentees [13]. The IDI assesses mentors’ intercultural competenceacross a continuum from monocultural to intercultural mindsets. By first understanding their owncapabilities for cultural bridging, mentors can then develop the adaptability and skills needed toengage inclusively. With the help of a trained IDI facilitator, the

Our approach to studying student successtakes a reductionist stance, similar to how natural sciences interpret complex biological phenom-ena through underlying chemical and physical principles. However, this approach faces severalchallenges. One significant difficulty is quantifying the impact of specific interventions or re-forms on a student’s progress within their degree program.
