Student Driven Assessment of Student Belonging at Nashville State

The Student Voices Initiative was a 2020-21 grant from TBR to assess Nashville State students’ sense of belonging. What made this project unique was the focus groups were led by Nashville State students. Discussion will include the process of training the student focus group facilitators, recruiting students to participate in focus groups, ultimately with the most success in PSYC 1030 Introduction to Psychology classes, and the data from over 100 students. You will then go through the paces of a focus group to assess faculty sense of belonging at Nashville State. (If the workshop is in person, faculty should bring a pen to complete a survey; if virtual, faculty will complete an online survey.)
