Campus and community programming has been used to orient new students, retain existing students, educate stakeholders, build community, improve intercultural communication, and so on. However, in an atmosphere that focuses on compliance, it is often relegated to the back burner and rarely takes priority. In this 4-hour workshop, you will engage with others to revisit your programming and blueprint a programming initiative that meets the needs of your constituents. This workshop is supplemented with online tools that you can use in your office to bring the workshop back those in your workplace.
