• engage all participants in a meaningful way;
• communicate in a collaborative, clear, and timely manner;
• create places that benefit the entire campus as well as the individual project;
• plan for future opportunities while accommodating present needs;
• meet or exceed established standards and best practices; and
• create a desire in participants to help us strive for our vision and work with us again.
