San Diego-Based University Launches New Student Support Hub Inspired by Co-Working Spaces, Designed for Online and Working Learners
Summary
The newly-remodeled space houses a flexible, collaborative environment where online and hybrid students can study, connect with peers and find support services—all with the convenience and community of an in-person setting tailored to their needs. This includes student success and writing coaches, the newly-enhanced Veteran and Military Community Center, collaborative study spaces, and access to career development workshops and mentorship programs. Meanwhile, the new Sanford Harmony Family Clubhouse (HFC) is a dedicated space designed to support members of the NU community who are parents, including faculty, staff and students. As San Diegos largest private nonprofit university, NU offers over 190 online and on-campus programs with flexible four-week and eight-week classes and one-to-one graduate education models designed to help students reach their goals while balancing busy lives. Since its founding, the NU community has grown to 130,000 learners per year—50,000 degree-seeking students and 80,000 workforce and professional development students—and 245,000 alumni around the globe, many of whom serve in helping industries such as business, education, health care, cybersecurity and law and criminal justice.
