Making It Stick: How to Change Culture on Campus through Collaborative Initiatives

Auburn University has established a strategic network of working groups to foster cultural change emphasizing student success, centered in learning spaces and mobile and distance learning. IT is one of many constituencies in these groups. Collaboration, open discourse, and transparent actions serve to advance Auburn's academic mission. The carefully chosen composition of these groups creates an inclusive set of relationships between central and distributed administrators, faculty, students, IT specialists, librarians, the Office of Accessibility, and the Center for Teaching and Learning, while central leadership empowers these groups to work for the best solutions possible, including evidence-based assessments.

OUTCOMES: Identify at least one group of stakeholders you have not previously considered * Plan your own network of collaborative groups * Consider the intangible value of empowering diverse groups across campus to drive change
