Description
Collaboration To Reimagine Student Learning & Success
Students live, learn and grow across every corner of campus—from classrooms to residence halls to co-curricular spaces. Yet, when academic and student affairs remain siloed, the student experience becomes fragmented. Students feel disconnected, staff face systemic barriers, and faculty often wonder how to engage beyond the classroom. Reimagine what’s possible when residence life and academics intentionally partner to create a seamless, holistic student experience.
Join our expert presenter as they share practical ways you can explore how faculty and residence life staff can work together to break down silos to foster genuine partnerships that reflect how today’s students actually live and learn. This is more than collaboration—it’s a shift toward a truly holistic student experience where residence life and academics unite to enhance learning, wellness, and belonging.
You’ll gain both high-impact practices and creative, cost-effective solutions that work with any campus size, culture, or budget that you can implement in your residential life programming immediately!
