In her eXpress presentation, NACAS CEO Kelsey Harmon Finn will explore how campus leaders can leverage public and private partnerships to build the best student experience possible, meeting demands and fusing brands into all areas of campus to maximize partnership opportunities. The ways in which we approach this integration should be (and CAN be) different. We need to envision a merging of higher education and business that benefits all parties involved. Kelsey will address the future of the industry and how student experience is limited by avoiding the creation of robust campus partnerships. Higher education is not the end of the line for students; the work that we do prepares them for the real world and life beyond the classroom.
