Abstract: Participation in elective online social networks that enhance learners' connections to their local community and to distant others they perceive as similar may be especially important to the educational attainment and engagement of low-income students traditionally underrepresented in higher education compared to their upper-to-middle income peers. This poster presents the conceptual framework for the design and implementation of an online social network aimed at increasing the educational attainment, leadership and social engagement of such students.
