Thank you to everyone who attended and helped to make this conference a success! Conference Theme Inspiring Community "...The word community is derived from the Latin communitas (cum "with/together" + munus "gift"), a broad term for fellowship or organized society." OED Online, July 2009, Oxford University Press This year's conference will explore how campus planning fosters the creation of community within the institution, the neighborhood, the city, and beyond. Community–at all levels - campus, city, region, the world - is central to our human endeavors and individual well-being. Institutions of higher learning are comprised of a multiplicity of communities whose purposes are to educate students, develop new knowledge, and foster relationships. Creating and participating in a variety of communities is a major focus of campus life, both facilitated and complicated by the increasing use and numbers of technological tools and innovations. Fostering sustaining communities in a climate of increasingly constrained fiscal resources, a changing sense of social responsibilities, and digital distractions is the challenge facing higher education and the world today.
