Abstract

Given the increased awareness of the value of social and emotional learning (SEL) in schools and the workplace, college campuses are implementing these skills into curricular and co-curricular programming. Historically, SEL skills have not received overt attention in school curricula. When SEL is explicitly implemented on college campuses, its benefits include increased student retention and engagement, and personal and professional success. To date, there is no framework on how to include SEL in higher education. SEL has widely been used in other educational settings but has not been applied to a higher education population. This chapter will discuss a campus-wide approach for including evidence-based SEL practices. One such strategy is creating and utilizing common language formed through explicit SEL programming.
