During this presentation, CampusWorks will introduce and lead a discussion on trends in higher education, identifying themes related to enrollment, student success, technology, and accountability that can support institutional transformational objectives.

The workshop will provide an overview of the technology landscape, highlight trends occurring in higher education with a focus on student services/experiences and look at long-range future horizons challenges that could further impact STCC. It will explore the overall use and leveraging of technology to streamline operations and provide desired employee and student experiences, minimizing administrative work. This session acts as a primer to assist faculty, staff, and administration in embracing the redefining of the student experience by challenging them to embrace the possibility of new models of services.

This workshop will be offered to the campus, including leadership, faculty, staff, and students. Note: A student experience workshop will be held in October, that will bring students, faculty, and staff together to collaboratively define aspirational student experiences. This fall’s workshop outcome will become the foundation of strategic planning for the campus. If you plan on participating in the fall Student Experience Workshop, we encourage you to attend this session.
