Though many goals overlap, cooperation between Student Affairs and Faculty on campuses is a real challenge and an ongoing SA Blog debate.
A recent trip to Pasco-Hernando Community College’s West Campus not only had the normal friction between the two groups, but the campus was also set up in a way that had the two groups literally divided by a river.
Spatial layout of a campus can play a major role in either hurting or promoting cooperation. At my Alma Mater, the student activities office was tucked far away in a corner of the campus and it was a real challenge to either make faculty aware we existed or how to find us.What’s the layout like on your campus? Does it help or hurt your cooperation with Faculty?
