Conference Presentations

Higher education campuses have changed very little since the post-industrial era despite the diverse and evolving needs of the modern student. As students seek opportunities for interaction and engagement, institutions have a responsibility to not only provide them with knowledge, but a welcoming environment in which to thrive. This session will explore the diverse experiences of students, faculty, and staff on campus and how they correlate with a sense of wellbeing and belonging. Join us for a workshop that will help you reimagine your own campus's academic environments through empathy, adopting different perspectives, and identifying elements of inclusion and exclusion.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Recognize that there are many ways to portray an idea and that framing or solving a problem will be different depending on the user.
2. Develop a reflective practice to help you build a holistic vision of reality that supports empathetic, healthy, and sustainable living.
3. Engage with critical reflection to identify and redefine problems related to perceptions of wellbeing and belonging on your campus.
4. Identify and reflect on multiple perspectives regarding elements of inclusion and exclusion on campus.
