From Help Desk to Home Base: Reimagining IT as a Hub for Student Engagement

Information Technology organizations are uniquely positioned to advance student success by moving beyond infrastructure and intentionally creating spaces, jobs, and communities where students learn, belong, and thrive. Where IT becomes a place students actively want to be. In this session, leaders from the University of Wyoming show you how to take IT to the next level in student engagement and share a practical, replicable model for making IT a student home base through integrated makerspaces, experiential student employment, campus partnerships, and inclusive events that directly support engagement, career readiness, and academic success.
