Approach to Student Affairs Planning
Marriott, Grand Ballroom (13)

Is student affairs headed toward a major crisis?
In a future stressed for resources and scrutinized

creativity, an integrated approach and a future
orientation to engage the student. This holistic
approach is based on fundamentals of the
profession combined with future-directed student
affairs efforts. In this session, participants will
work in small group charette formats to discuss
case studies, consider campus cultures, create
assessment approaches and participate in creative
exercises to stimulate ideas for the campus of
tomorrow.
