The connected campus experience: Unifying digital touchpoints through partnerships

Session date and time

Tuesday, October 20, 2026, 9:30 AM - 10:15 AM EDT 

Today's students don't experience campus in silos — they experience it as one connected ecosystem. From maps and mobile apps to events, campus life and academic resources, every digital touchpoint shapes their perception of your institution. In this session, we'll explore how colleges and universities are breaking down digital silos to create a seamless, integrated campus experience. Learn how strategic partnerships across departments — and with the right technology providers — can unify maps, mobile platforms, event calendars and student engagement tools into one cohesive journey. Through a partner case study, we'll demonstrate what an integrated student experience looks like in practice — from prospective student exploration to daily campus life navigation. You'll also walk away with a practical roadmap for transformation, including how to assess your current ecosystem, align stakeholders, prioritize integrations and execute a phased strategy. Whether you're in marketing, IT, enrollment or student affairs, this session will help you think beyond individual tools and toward a truly connected campus experience.
