Most of these factors appear in direct contact with are directly related to students’interactions and relations with people around them such as faculty, classmates, lab instructors,teaching assistants, significant others, family members, friends, and college staff. The researchersemphasized that faculty and peer interaction is one of the biggest driving forces behind increasingthe sense of belonging among those students in higher education. This can range from saying helloto having a casual interaction with a professor in the hallway. Accordingly, faculty plays one ofthe most crucial roles in improving students feeling of belonging to

As part of this, they complete aseries of self-assessments [12] and generate an asset map where they give thought to how theirlife experiences, not only educational experiences, will benefit a team.
