3 Critical Strategies for Influencing Students' Success - Sponsored by CirQlive

Wednesday, February 20 | 11:45AM–12:30PM PT | Pacific Ballroom C, Second Floor
Session Type: Featured Session
Delivery Format: Interactive Presentation
As campuses continue to focus on improving the rates at which students persist in college and complete a degree, now is the time to further examine the many factors that can influence these outcomes. We will present several critical strategies that institutions are using to influence student success and highlight effective approaches for addressing students' health and well-being, financial capability, and connection to the institution environment. For example, we'll highlight national trends related to how institutions are using on-campus work opportunities, mental health resources, and first-generation student programming to help students thrive. We'll also include multiple examples of how faculty, administrators, and staff across the institution can leverage their expertise and resources to provide holistic care and support.

Outcomes: Explore leading challenges for college students, particularly those who are first generation * Discuss strategies that institutions are using, beyond financial aid, to address students' financial barriers * Identify unique roles that faculty have in supporting campus initiatives related to students' health and wellness * Learn how professionals are collaborating across multiple campus units, functions, and divisions
