Workshop Presentation
Vigor Lam  

This workshop will share with designers, faculty, students, and administrators how to identify and successfully advocate for student space resources that fulfill the needs for student persistence and holistic success - addressing specific needs experienced by underrepresented students, especially those first-generation, low-income, Indigenous, etc.. The workshop will provide several case studies of student engagement and advocacy and the architectural and teaching strategies that address student needs. During the session - presenters will use Poll Everywhere and MURAL (virtual) and/or visual boards in workshop/charette style (in-person) to allow participants to provide feedback and simulate strategic sessions.
