<p>Belonging at Yale emerged in 2018 after several years of discussion over what it means to belong at Yale and how the community could move forward in a way that enhances diversity, supports equity, and promotes an environment of welcome, inclusion, and respect. Initiated by President Peter Salovey and led by Secretary and Vice President for University Life Kimberly Goff-Crews, the aim of the initiative is to encourage a more empathetic, supportive, and inclusive community, while also actively promoting a free exchange of ideas and viewpoints.</p><p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LcQ1A8spcng?si=L3P2-R0StMB64e3J" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aexq5uDv5II?si=CHvXPKQcjPz2bZQy" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p> </p><p>The actions and activities fostered by <em>Belonging at Yale</em> <a href="https://belong.yale.edu/annual-report-2023">are many</a>.
