As a joint initiative between Student Affairs and the McMaster Students Union, the Belonging Survey and Census will help us better understand the composition of our community and the experiences of students across campus.
Belonging is foundational to student success, well-being, and growth. When students feel accepted for who they are, supported, and connected to their community, they are better positioned to learn, engage, and grow.
As outlined in McMaster’s new Bolder Together strategic plan, fostering inclusive communities where all can flourish is a shared priority. Your feedback will help inform efforts to strengthen inclusion and belonging across the student experience, ensuring all students feel welcomed, respected, supported, and able to thrive.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and helping shape the future of our community.
