By: Carolyn Cirillo, Knoll, Inc. | Elliot Felix, Brightspot Strategy | Sanjit Sethi, Minneapolis College of Art and Design | Genny Beemyn, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

In this session, you'll learn how to combine digital and physical environments, promote diversity and inclusion, and implement flexibility within campus spaces to prepare your institution for a more blended world.
