Every institution is shaped by powerful stories. The challenge is not whether those stories exist, but how intentionally we build the systems, relationships, and culture that allow them to be captured authentically and shared in ways that advance institutional mission and impact. Collaboration is essential to inform, inspire, acquire, and thank donors who support an institution’s priorities. In this session, partnerships between academic affairs and students will highlight examples of collaborative takeaways.
