Promoting Shared Success at an Institutional Level

Guest: Dr. Jane Irungu

Colleges and universities bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and circumstances to achieve a shared goal as an institution. The overall success of the campus community depends on the success of its stakeholders, so creating a goal-oriented community means finding effective ways to support the individual needs of students, faculty, staff, and leadership. Learn strategies for building inclusive, collaborative communities within brick-and-mortar institutions, and see how the pandemic-related challenges have presented opportunities to build stronger communities.

The episode explores:

• The value of community for everyone in higher ed – students, faculty, staff, and leadership
• Challenges to building community in traditional higher ed institutions
• The importance of mission and vision to community
• Tips to facilitate inclusive, collaborative learning in the classroom
