serendipity, n.Pronunciation: /sɛrɛnˈdɪpɪtɪ/ Etymology:A word coined by Horace Walpole, who says (Let. to Mann, 28 Jan. 1754) that he had formed it upon the title of the fairy-tale ‘The Three Princes of Serendip’, the heroes of which ‘were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of’.
The faculty of making happy and unexpected discoveries by accident.
From: Oxford English Dictionary (Online)

Ideas between Deans of the Library and Student Affairs moved “up” to higher administration
The UNK Mission Statement was a developmental focal point.
III. Student Development Goal (Objective 1): Develop a comprehensive strategy that will guide planning and activity outside the formal academic curriculum to enhance each student’s cognitive and moral development, interpersonal skills, and prospects for satisfaction and success at UNK and in life after graduation.
Articulate a framework of principles and common objectives, and establish collaborative mechanisms, enabling units to cooperate across organizational boundaries to enhance student retention, graduation, and career placement results.
Bridge Academic and Student Affairs programming to integrate living and learning experiences for students…

SPACE: “… an environment that enhances social interaction and cross
disciplinary learning outside the classroom.”1
GOAL: “The main goal of the Learning Commons is to provide, in a centralized
location, as many academic support services for students as possible.” 2
MECHANISM: “The core activity of a learning commons would not be the manipulation
and mastery of information… but the collaborative learning by which students turn information into knowledge and sometimes into wisdom.”3

users.
