Anderson, Ind. — Anderson University was recently awarded the Independent Colleges of Indiana Belonging Grant worth $1,000. AU plans to use the grant to fund two college campus community conversation sessions focused on fostering a sense of belonging among faculty, staff, and students. 

“This grant will be impactful as we work collaboratively toward creating and sustaining an ‘environment of belonging’ on campus through community conversation and relationship building efforts,” said Dr. Stephanie Moran, senior advisor for strategic partnerships.

The sessions aim to create a supportive environment where participants can engage in meaningful dialogue about diversity, inclusion, and belonging, ultimately strengthening campus community ties. Following the sessions, participants will share a meal together,  providing an informal setting for continued conversations and relationship-building. 

The sessions will be held in September 2024 and January 2025.
