Institutions need innovative student engagement strategies that cultivate collaborative governance in order to reflect changing learning paradigms and evolving societal needs, including recent pandemic-fueled inequities. Our session at the 2021 SCUP Annual Conference shared diverse planner, leadership, faculty, and student perspectives on engagement and collaboration at North Orange County Community College, with an engaging discussion on how traditionally under-served students are reshaping higher education and what tools and solutions can be applied to engagement efforts on your campus.
