Description

Supporting the Engagement, Learning and Success of Students At-Risk

Available On-Demand
This is a two part series

Overview

This intensive three hour workshop (two 90 minute sessions) will identify the characteristics, challenges and strengths of students whose backgrounds and experiences often put them at greater risk for not achieving their full potential and/or for leaving college. Participants will also consider how students at-risk often confront multiple challenges due to overlapping issues (e.g., first generation AND first-year; Multicultural, Underprepared, and LGBT).

At-risk cohorts covered in these sessions include:

· Adult/re-entry

· First generation/Low SES

· Students of color/Multicultural students

·     Students with disabilities
·     Student-athletes
·     First-year students
·    LGBT students
·     Transfer students

Objectives

· Learn how individual faculty members, academic advisors, counselors and other educators can support students at-risk

· Review effective skills, attitudes, and strategies that can enhance student success

· Examine which existing departments need to collaborate effectively in order to increase the achievement and success of students at-risk

· Consider what new programs, services, or other interventions might be needed to support students at-risk
