The Blended Campus
will be a beloved place
that breaks barriers
and constructs paths
connecting communities
and breathing renewed life
into teaching and learning;
a physical and digital place
transforming
what is distinct,
here, now --
into what is needed,
there, next.

The Blended Campus is like a quad without walls, fences, and silos. It would organically blend...
ONSITE + ONLINE:
interacting in person, in place and from anywhere...
TOWN + GOWN:
partnering space, resources, real estate, people...
​
LIFE SKILLS + JOB SKILLS:
teaching how to learn, think, create, collaborate...
​
SOCIAL VALUES + SOCIAL LIFE:
advancing justice, ecosystem, community,​ friendships...
COVID-19 has put many colleges at a crossroads. Crucial questions about survival and sustainability loom large. Is there a way forward that reimagines the campus as a lean but robust home of the institution and its community, blending the soul of physical place and the muscle of digital interface into a vibrant hub?
