Thought Leaders Report 2020: Preparing for the Student of 2024 [PDF]

Students entering higher education in the next decade will be the most diverse incoming class in higher education history—and the vanguard of an increasingly diverse generation. They will have been raised with technology from birth and will consider online interaction as natural as breathing. They will be alert to the importance of mental health and wellness, both in themselves and in their peers. They will have low tolerance for slow administrative processes. They will expect their professors to teach in engaging, interactive ways and make smart use of technology. They will expect a lot of them¬selves. They will expect a lot of their institutions. They will know what they are paying for their education, and they will demand every penny’s worth. Is today’s campus ready for these students? The answer: Yes—and no. Higher education is moving in the right direction, but it faces unprecedented demands and challenges. We are only now beginning to understand that the old normal is never coming back. We must find ways to adapt to a new normal and a new set of expectations from our future students.

Building Commissioning Handbook, Third Edition

It has been more than 40 years since the inception of building commissioning (Cx) as a discrete profession. This third edition of The Building Commissioning Handbook captures the many changes in the building market that are – and will continue to be – advancing and accelerating the role and value of commissioning. The design, construction, operation, and optimization of increasingly complex building systems and assemblies requires unique and expanding skill sets along with broad and deep knowledge of building science.

 

Produced by APPA and the Building Commissioning Association, this handbook provides a sequential, phase-based approach to the building commissioning process for all who have a stake in understanding, participating, and delivering properly functioning higher education and other commercial and institutional facilities.

It is the "bigger picture" told from the ground level. Growing Weeders into Leaders takes you through the practical applications of empowering people to experience not only what it means to grow outstanding landscapes, but also to grow greatness in themselves and encourage it in others.
