A key aim of the 2022 SNAAP survey administration was to document arts and design alumni’s experiences with sense of belonging during their postsecondary arts and design education, as well as within their employment if they were in the workforce at the time of 2022 survey. Sense of belonging is recognized as a key indicator of student well-being within higher education and as a predictor of student outcomes.
