Overview

Student well-being plays a critical role in education retention, influencing student persistence through academic challenges and degree completion. When students feel connected to their campus, supported by peers and faculty, and valued in their learning environment, they remain more engaged and motivated. Feelings of isolation, stress, or lack of support contribute to decreased academic performance and higher dropout rates. As colleges and universities face concerns about student retention, attention has been placed on inclusive campus cultures, mental health resources, and supportive educational experiences that strengthen student well-being and long-term academic success. Student Belonging and Well-Being in Higher Education Retention explores how student wellness influences academic engagement, persistence, and enrollment in higher education institutions. It examines the social, emotional, and institutional factors that contribute to student retention, including campus support systems, peer relationships, mental health, and inclusive learning environments. This book covers topics such as academic stress, algorithmic governance, and educational sociology, and is a useful resource for educators, sociologists, psychologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
