Quotes from the episode

Mattering is not about if you fit in or not, it is about being valued.

Belonging is tied to a lot of things that we value and that students value.
-Peter Felten

Mattering is not about if you fit or not, it is about being valued.
-Peter Felten

Different students trust faculty differently than others.
-Peter Felten
