This article explores how partnership building can be used as a strategic tool in the creation of campus conditions that positively contribute to both student well-being and student retention. Synergies between strategic enrollment management literature and student well-being theories are discussed, and an example of how a partnership approach has been advanced to create conditions for well-being in learning environments at Simon Fraser University is shared. The processes undertaken and lessons learned are discussed, to provide insight for others interested in advancing a similar approach.
