The Student Experience
Provide a holistic educational experience for students that will support their academic, professional, and personal success.
OBJECTIVES:
- Increase meaningful student engagement on campus by exploring the growth of student space for campus events, as well as places to meet and socialize, which will promote a sense of belonging in a welcoming environment.
- Develop and implement a comprehensive plan that focuses on student success through a holistic approach using the wellness wheel.
