Abstract

As many campus support services embrace a collaborative approach to serving student populations, we are exploring how to best integrate common spaces. Since much learning takes place outside the traditional classroom, we are designing these common areas to share tasks, reinforce traditional learning, and explore new opportunities for engagement. Our panel will give a brief overview of the "before and after" structures, then address questions and lessons learned thus far.
