# How Your Campus Store Can Impact Inclusion, Belonging, and Retention

 In Partnership with CACUBO

Engaging students, fans, and alumni in 2024 means creating authentic, memorable experiences that resonate with every member of your campus community and help them feel a sense of belonging. From Gen Z students to lifelong learners, students want the campus store to embody iconic campus traditions while also offering products and services that cater to their unique needs and tastes.

From student-centric products and services, to expanding your assortment to cater to diverse customers, to removing barriers to student success, we’ll explore the possibilities to support inclusion and retention that exist within your store.

In this session, you'll hear from campus leaders and vendors re-imagining their campus store spaces, expanding product selection, and leveling the playing field through digital-first Equitable Access programs.  

###### You’ll Learn:

- Three strategies to bring equity, inclusion and belonging values to the campus store experience, including vendor selection, course materials delivery, and retail experiences.
- How schools are creating inclusive in-store and online spaces that serve as the metaphorical front porch for their campus.
- A roadmap for launching an Equitable Access pilot.
