Deep Thoughts with the Dean...
A sense of belonging is one of humanity's most basic needs. It is a feeling of being happy or comfortable, having a good relationships, feeling welcome, accepted, seen. According to activist and author Kim Samuel, “Belonging is a state of wholeness: the experience of being at home in the social, environmental, organizational, and cultural contexts of one's life. Belonging is a beloved community, rootedness in a place, a feeling of ownership in shared outcomes, and a sense of shared mission”.
A sense of belonging is accomplished in many ways, but it cannot be born from power or harm. Hazing is a form of power-based personal violence which often hides behind promises of belonging and group members. Hazing is not belonging – it’s a way to demonstrate power over others and perpetuate a history of violence. This week, we are promoting National Hazing Prevention Week. All year, we promote belonging and safety. Join in the week’s events to learn more. A full schedule is in Vikes Connect and found here: https://www.csuohio.edu/hazingprevention
