Campus Store Connect:

Campus Store 101

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 | 11:00 AM EST | Virtual via Zoom

FREE for store members! You must be logged in to register.

Campus retail has its own language, rhythms, and considerations that can differ from traditional retail environments. Join fellow NCSA members for a collaborative discussion designed to help build shared understanding around the unique aspects of campus stores — from common terminology and planning cycles to how different functions and systems fit together.

This session will feature 3–5 experienced campus store leaders serving as Peer Mentors, who will share context, insights, and lessons learned from their own experiences. The conversation will be guided by participant questions and topics, with an emphasis on clarity, perspective, and peer-to-peer learning.

Connect with colleagues from stores of all sizes, gain helpful context around how campus retail operates, and leave with a stronger framework for navigating conversations, planning, and decision-making within the campus store environment.

Format: Guided round-table discussion and open Q&A — participation is encouraged.

Who Should Attend: Newer campus store employees, staff transitioning into new roles, or anyone interested in deepening their understanding of campus retail-specific concepts, terminology, and planning considerations.
