Building strong campus communities in the digital age
The new Student Affairs hit series, Traci’s Take, has all Campus Life pros talking. Traci (Director for Student Success & Engagement at Suitable) has a can’t-miss episode lined up for May to break down the dynamics that can encourage or discourage healthy student life and community. Join Traci for her fourth episode on May 19th at 12 PM (ET) as she welcomes past ACUI president, Ann Comerford (Associate Vice Chancellor for Auxiliary Services at the University of Illinois Springfield) for a timely discussion on student belonging and campus culture. They will dive into the most pressing topics facing Student Affairs and explore the idea of the “Third Place”. Drawing from personal background and expertise, Ann will share her perspective on the shifting landscape of co-curricular life and the impact of campus involvement for holistic student success and belonging.
This session will explore:
- The Third Place: Why "sticky spaces" outside of home and work are essential for a thriving campus culture.
- The University as a Lab: Shifting the perspective on student involvement from "resume building" to "community practice."
- Combating the Loneliness Epidemic: A look at how campus engagement provides the blueprint for civic belonging after graduation.
- Future trends and factors that can make-or-break student communities.
