The Student Housing Matters blog explores ideas with leaders in higher education and the student housing profession. This is the place to find stories from those who have worked in the field for many years, podcast interviews, and videos about relevant topics in the student housing world.

It’s about matters relating to on-campus student housing, as well as why quality on-campus student housing really matters. We want this blog to serve as a forum for sharing ideas and insights about how your on-campus student housing can do things beyond simply housing students. How it can be used as a more powerful tool to recruit and retain students on your campus. We look forward to you joining us in the conversation.

Authentic

December 1, 2015January 27, 2021

Webster defines authentic as “real; or genuine.” Brigid Lawler, Dean of Admissions at Marlboro College in Marlboro, VT, recently contributed an article to College Planning and Management entitled “What do Colleges Need? Authenticity.” Please take a few moments to read. It exemplified the care felt and shown to a prospective student, that we all hope those responsible for the higher education of others will display. It inspired me and I think it will do the same for you. Thank you, Brigid Lawler.
