Overview

Improving student experiences at Penn is a primary strategic area. This includes providing real-time data and reporting on student performance and needs as well as providing a seamless experience by integrating administrative and academic information—across admissions, classrooms, financial aid, student life, and undergraduate schools. Cultivating student engagement and belonging in the campus community is crucial to improving student mental health and wellness, especially in relation to social media, worry, and loneliness. Increasing student choice and access to courses, equipment, and training will also be important. Finally, evolving student spaces and facilities for future learning and socializing is crucial in providing an overall environment that supports the student experience.
