Our students are arriving on campus with different backgrounds, pathways, and expectations. They are increasingly low-income, first-generation, students of color, student parents, working adults, and more. Understandably, they expect us to meet them where they are.
As the pathways to and through college change, traditional institutional strategy and design are out of sync with the needs and aspirations of future students. Some institutions have found success by working together to de-risk the difficult and cumbersome process of redesigning their campus for the needs of tomorrow’s students.
Bridget Burns will share cutting-edge lessons and insights gleaned from the University Innovation Alliance’s 5 years of groundbreaking work (including what they would do differently and how your institution can be part of this movement). What steps do institutions need to take now to not only catch up to the realities of today’s students, but design new solutions for the student demographics of the future? Join this engaging session for insights and inspiration from the front lines of innovation and change in higher ed.
