Quite happy for the invitation to speak at this year’s HUMANE conference at ULisboa, my alma mater in two different colleges. I’ll be drawing from my own experience as a pre and post COVID 19 student, and as expected from someone from SAS, bringing some data to see what additional light it shines over the topic of the hybrid campus of the future, and how higher education institutions can address one topic which I find fundamental: the sense of community.
