Symposium | Student Housing: Purpose and Trends, Then and Now

The myriad benefits of on-campus student housing in supporting campus community-building and student engagement are now generally well known, but the characteristics, configurations, and options that best accommodate the needs of today’s student population are always evolving. Representatives from five institutions—three private, two public—will share their experiences and highlight the planning tools they use to plan and manage their student housing programs. Please join us for an engaging and interactive session that will provide you with critical, campus-tested planning tools you can deploy to improve student housing at your institution.
