The Division of Student Belonging and Success

Welcome to THE NEW DIVISION of STUDENT BELONGING AND SUCCESS

CSU's new Division of Student Belonging and Success is designed around a growing body of research linking a college student’s sense of identity and belonging to their academic success and timely graduation. We strive to create an ecosystem designed to support CSU students' academically and in all aspects of their college experience.

"The wellbeing and academic success of our students are our highest priorities. With that uppermost in mind, I write today to share with you the launch of a new Division of Student Belonging and Success at CSU that will realign several existing programs and initiatives to create greater synergy among these efforts and contribute substantially to the ability of our students to thrive, no matter who they are, where they are from or where they are headed." —CSU President, Dr. Laura Bloomberg
