I am honored to announce my recent appointment to the Board of Directors at Living Classrooms Foundation. Learn more about this honor here: https://lnkd.in/ep-2guWb This is a significant step for Oasis because it reflects our deep commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) initiatives, which are not just ideals but values we hold close to our hearts.

#Universities aim to create a memorable experience for their students, similar to planning a grand family reunion. Orientation and family weekend events are crucial in setting the tone for the university experience. Just like a multi-course meal, orientation is the appetizer, hinting at everything to come. But it's the main course, family weekend, where deeper connections are forged and emotional investments are made. Universities, like meticulous reunion planners, use tools like VisualZen, Inc. to ensure every participant leaves satisfied, appreciated, and more connected than when they arrived. But universities don't just consider students as "family" - they recognize all supporters who champion their students' success. By the end of this festive gathering, universities aim to prepare their students not only for successful careers but also as lifelong ambassadors who carry forward the university's legacy and spirit. #GoVZO #highered
