Conference Presentations

This student panel will exchange ideas on the impacts of capital planning in three phases: on campus today, at graduation, and ten years in the future. An educator and design expert will join students from Philadelphia-based institutions to share their perspectives on how short and long-term visioning for campus planning can create more engaging, inclusive, and impactful student experiences. Planners are considering the experiences students seek while on campus, and how perceived impressions differ from the reality of renovations. This interactive discussion will offer live feedback on trends and issues around recruitment, retention, campus culture, and sense of belonging.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Discuss how to align cross-functional integrated planning goals with student priorities.
2. Detail methods of gathering student feedback to inform resource allocation and data-driven design decisions.
3. Focus on the future and next generation of leaders by engaging students while they are matriculating in real time.
4. Evaluate how student feedback and current research tracks student insights into recruitment, retention, and alumni relations.
