Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the role of cross-campus collaboration at Rowan University and understand the impact it has on resident students. By conducting multiple semi-structured interviews, I sought to understand the view of cross-campus collaboration from professionals from both academic and student affairs. After conducting a thematic analysis on the collected data, the findings of the study illustrated that there are some instances of cross-campus collaboration happening at Rowan University. These instances occur when they are integrated into one's position and or department, and through committee involvement at the university level. Outside of these instances cross collaboration often occurs in silos. While this study found that resident students are not currently impacted, it is beneficial to develop more intentional practices that incorporate cross-campus collaboration in order to more comprehensively benefit students.
