How faculty and staff connect with students is vital to their social and academic integration at the institution. By discussing the issues and research on the factors of engagement will provide faculty and staff with practices that will assist in the retention of students at OU. This learning community will begin to build bridges between curricular and co-curricular experiences, which will enhance students’ learning. The integrative approach moves beyond just programs to the collaboration of talents, knowledge, and resources. In a time of limited funds, having the opportunity to discuss the possibility of collaborations between existing experiences within Oakland University will provide a better understanding of the connections that can be made.
