Abstrakt: Abstract: Sense of belongingness in the academic environment has been associated with positive student outcomes and increased student success. To cultivate belongingness, graduate nursing students were invited to participate in a virtual fitness challenge. Sense of belongingness was measured through pre- ( n = 103) and post-intervention ( n = 64) surveys with three subscales: other students, faculty, and the university. Students reported improved sense of belongingness following the intervention for all subscales, with statistically significant improvements related to other students ( p = .007) and the university ( p = .023). A virtual fitness challenge may improve sense of belongingness among graduate nursing students.
