Track 3: Holistic Student Services
Creating Communities for Student Success: When students walk into the
classroom (or log into the classroom) we hope that they are ready and
willing to learn, however many students have competing interests for
their time, resources, and energy. This track will focus on ways the
faculty and staff from across the system have worked to serve their
students holistically by focusing on: mental health and self-care
practices/programming; connecting students with campus/community
resources for fundamental needs (food/shelter/safety insecurities); and
practices/programming that addresses cultural awareness and
competencies.
Examples: Recognizing Students Who are Struggling and What to do to
Help; Cultural Competency, it’s Not Just for Classrooms; Advising for
Life’s Journey in Addition to the Academic Journey; Building a Sense of
Community Inside/Outside the Classroom; How to Start a Food Pantry.
