Room-McKissick: Title: Bridging the Gap between Off-Campus Stakeholders: Improving Engagement, Education, and Communication for Student Tenants and Their Landlords Abstract: Relationships between universities, landlords, and student tenants can look completely different across the world, and being able to influence the relationships that these three stakeholders have with one another can make the difference between a student’s successes and challenges during their off-campus living experience. Utilizing an innovative form of communication and engagement, CU Boulder is able to educate landlords on how best to engage with student tenants, while aligning with institutional goals. This alignment has led to fewer conduct cases, better informed tenants, increased use of institutional resources, and better communication lines between the school and the property managers who rent to our students. Presenter: Jeff Morris, Director, Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations, University of Colorado, Boulder |
