Re-engage Your Staff in Campus Life – On-Demand Training

Balance Expectations and Regain Community

How do you balance today’s expectations with the realities of campuses post-pandemic? How do you get staff to re-engage in the campus culture the way it was pre-COVID? How do you get your staff to value interactions and involvement in campus life, especially when they are already so tired?

As staffs across the U.S. scramble to provide more services with less human and fiscal resources, determining priorities and expressing the value of their involvement is critical. We can no longer sit in front of a computer and communicate from afar. It’s time for staff members to re-engage in the campus community so they can have a real impact on student satisfaction and retention.

We explore creative strategies to revitalize staff involvement in campus culture and discuss what’s needed to move forward, overcoming the impact of the pandemic. Plus, we look at ways to combat the impending challenges of the enrollment cliff. Our presenter addresses how to regain that sense of community, reintroduce traditions, and create a community that embraces each other and a robust campus life.

The collegiate experience is special — and it still very much has a place today. Get your campus community interacting, participating in activities, supporting events, and reaching out in ways that matter to your students. Create a collegiate experience that is engaging and satisfying for all students!
