PHOTO EXHIBITION What is a sense of belonging? A sense of belonging has been described as one of our most important needs. “Belonging” means that you feel accepted, included, a sense of connectedness or a part of something else. These UWA students have photographed what makes them feel a sense of belonging to our University. No matter whether UWA students are studying on campus or online, there are many different ways that people feel a connection and sense of belonging.
