My experiences at Princeton have made me
far more aware of my “Blackness” than ever
before . . . no matter how liberal and open-
minded some of my White professors and
classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes
feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really
don’t belong . . . It often seems as if, to them,
I will always be Black first and a student
second. - Michelle Robinson (1985)

When we’re uncertain of our belonging, our attention is drawn to negative interpretations of ambiguous social cues

584 Black high school graduates who were accepted to college were asked
if they agree with the statement:
“Sometimes I worry that I will not belong in college”

The more Black high school graduates agreed that:
“Sometimes I worry that I will not belong in college”
The less likely they were to be a fulltime college student 6 months later.
(Even controlling for GPA, SAT, gender)

You haven’t learned the right study strategy yet.

Negative social and academic experiences
Interpretation
“People here don’t accept me or want me
to succeed.”
“Why try to make friends here, ask for help, or work hard?”
Lower social and academic investment

Social Belonging Intervention
Goal: Provide a positive narrative for setbacks
Testimonials from upper-year students covey:
Everyone worries at first about whether they belong in college but, with time, they start to feel at home
@pertslab

Example Testimonial When I first got to [school name], I worried that I was different from other students. Everyone else seemed so certain that they were right for [school name], I wasn’t sure I fit in. Sometime after my first year, I came to realize that many people come to [school name] uncertain whether they fit in or not. Now it seems ironic – everybody feels they are different freshman year from everybody else, when really in at least some ways we are all pretty similar...
