Building Partnerships to Enhance Student Well‐Being and Strategic Enrollment Management

Abstract

This article explores how partnership building can be used as a strategic tool in the creation of campus conditions that positively contribute to both student well‐being and student retention. Synergies between strategic enrollment management literature and student well‐being theories are discussed, and an example of how a partnership approach has been advanced to create conditions for well‐being in learning environments at Simon Fraser University is shared. The processes undertaken and lessons learned are discussed, to provide insight for others interested in advancing a similar approach.
