| Initiative Title | Bridging Student Support Services (Both Centers) |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2019 |
|---|
| 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 Academic Support services do not access these services. By engaging academic departments to work collaboratively with Academic Support, 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. |
|---|
| Department Goals | Engage a holistic, student-centered approach to learning and success; expand support services to address the gap of college readiness for First Year students., Increase outreach and awareness of student academic support services., Support the recommendations of the Guided Pathways Initiative. |
