Scion Group Launches “Campus Connections” Program

The Scion Group, the Chicago-based owner and operator of student housing communities, launched Scion Campus Connections. It’s a new strategic initiative intended to improve collaboration between higher education housing departments and Scion’s off-campus housing teams.

President Rob Bronstein described the program as “a unique collaboration initiative that will promote open communication, robust dialogue and mutual respect for both on-campus and off-campus housing professionals.”

Examples of action items that may result from the program include joint student programming that aligns with the academic calendar and master lease agreements to provide flexibility for fluctuating on-campus housing needs.

“The pandemic has served as a catalyst for us to formalize this new program, but the reality is that our advisory services team has been working alongside student housing departments for years, to break down the barriers between on-campus and off-campus teams and build a wider community,” said Jay Pearlman, SVP of Scion Advisory Services.
