As teaching and technology modalities evolve and our population of non-traditional learners increases, we must ensure that our campus is ready for students. We must welcome and engage new students the moment they are accepted to the university and foster a community of belonging through coordinated mentorship, campus connection, and student organization opportunities. We must connect learning to the future of work through agile curricula, flexible degree paths, technology readiness, and high-impact practices for the modern workforce. As student success and overall well-being are intertwined, we must coordinate our robust mental, physical, and emotional health resource infrastructure to serve all students wherever there is need.
A Student-Ready University is one that explores curricular offerings that foster lifelong learning, interdisciplinary curriculum, and alternative modes of delivery.
