Traversing Lines of Difference: Fostering Hospitality and Belonging for Immigrants in Christian College Communities
DeGraaf, Don; Gustat, Riley
International Journal of Christianity & Education, v27 n3 p300-318 2023
Building on the theoretical framework of social contact theory, this article explores what it means to feel a sense of belonging, and how colleges and universities can equip students to enter a diverse, fractured world with a mindset of hospitality. 12 Christian Colleges and Universities share insights and best practices from creative programs they created and implemented, with grant funding from the Innovation Inclusion Collaborative. These institutional examples provide models for developing college students' ability to foster inclusive environments in their surrounding communities.
