What Forms Institutional Identity?

Presenter(s): Janne Corneil, Sasaki Associates; Denis J. Curry, MGT of America Inc; Robert Sabbatini, Sasaki Associates Inc
Convener: Reginald Avery, Alma College

Identity is established both through the educational mission and the institution¹s physical environment, and is a key focus for colleges and universities. Master plans recently completed for two Claremont Colleges reveal that differences in the focus of curriculum translate to a marked difference in their image and campus environment. Given that these two small colleges are leaders in their subject areas and share many characteristics, this provides a basis for examining formation of institutional identity.

This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
