What helps people feel that they truly belong—and what happens when they do? Join the UCSF Climate and Belonging's Fostering Awareness Speaker Series on October 28th from 12:10–1:00 p.m. for The Science of Belonging, featuring UCSF’s Mica Estrada, PhD. Part of the Fostering Awareness: Dimensions of Belonging series, this session will explore the research behind belonging and the ways our environments, relationships, and everyday interactions can influence whether people feel valued, connected, and able to thrive. Dr. Estrada is Associate Dean of Opportunity & Engagement and Professor in the UCSF School of Nursing. Her research examines social influence, identity, values, kindness, well-being, mentorship, and approaches that strengthen inclusion and persistence in STEMM communities.
