ABOUT THE COLLABORATORY

The Belonging Collaboratory is a place where belonging is felt, both as a practice and as a field of study. 

Here, students, staff, and faculty all work together to experience, design and test new ways to strengthen connection, agency, and well-being across campus life.

The Collaboratory is a physical and digital hub linking people, data, and projects. Grounded in student voice, lived experience and continuous curiosity, we turn insights into action to grow a culture of belonging at UConn.

The Collaboratory:

  • Empowers undergraduate and graduate students as leaders in belonging
  • Equips the community with tools, opportunities, and networks
  • Elevates curiosity-driven projects
  • Engages diverse voices and partnerships
