| Initiative Title | Bridging Student Support Services |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2020 |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | According to the CSI, CCSSE, Achieving the Dream, Guided Pathways, and in-house assessments, many students who could benefit from Center for Student Success support do not access these services. By engaging academic departments and Student Services to work collaboratively with the Center for Student Success, we will have the ability to reach students who are struggling with their college coursework. National research shows that navigating disconnected services acts as a barrier to student success and that niche, isolated support "interventions that are not connected or scaled" do not yield strong results. There are opportunities to align administrative structures, strategies, and procedures for students that better channel them to needed support services, and to design a more holistic, integrated support model for SUNY Orange students. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The inability to address student's needs as seen through the CSI, CCSSE, and in-house evaluations. The inability to align with Guided Pathway goals. |
