Issy-les-Moulineaux, October 15, 2018 -
Sodexo, world leader of quality of life services, today released
its 2018 Sodexo University Trends Report: Five Trends Set to
Impact the Student Journey and Campus. Drawing on insight from a
panel of leading higher education experts as well as Sodexo's
experience providing services to 700 universities globally, it
delivers key trends shaping the student journey and the campus
experience, and how universities can and should be
responding.
The trends identified draw a roadmap for the
ongoing and future development of universities as places of both
learning and personal development, by identifying the fundamental
drivers of students' quality of life behind the rapidly changing
demographics, expectations and behaviours of university
students.
"More than ever the headwinds of technological, economic and
cultural change are impacting the way students learn and develop.
With this rapid change upon us, it is incumbent on all university
stakeholders - not only institutions themselves, but also public
authorities, parents, partners and suppliers - to work together to
support students and contribute to a successful on-campus
experience." said Satya-Christophe Menard, CEO, Sodexo Schools
& Universities Worldwide. "By drawing on experience and a
range of research, Sodexo can guide our clients to effective
solution-based action." |
This year's report focuses on five interrelated topics, with a
core focus on the changing role of universities, and what they must
do to engage with a new generation of students. The featured 2018
Sodexo University Trends are:
- Beyond academics: Changing economic, political, social,
digital, cultural and environmental forces are evolving the work
landscape. "Preparing students" takes on an expanded mandate beyond
academic education, to include personal development and
extracurricular offerings.
- Engaging first-generation students: A new generation of
students is emerging from the growing middle class, and
universities are working to recognise and support them - with clear
benefits beyond the individual experience.
- Enhancing student experiences with technology: Today's
college students are digital natives: they expect technological
touchpoints through recruitment, studying and post-graduation.
- Evolving brick-and-mortar universities: Global growth in
student population, access to technology and student mobility is
changing the way they experience physical campuses. Universities
are increasingly offering blended and customised models.
- Lifelong learning: As technology changes the workplace,
education is moving from the traditional 'one-and-done' model to a
broader audience including adults and senior residents looking to
keep up. Universities are exploring how to connect, provide for and
inspire remote learners, working adults and returning students.
