TRiO Resource Center Lounge Expansion :: PIP System (SUNY Orange)

TRiO Resource Center Lounge Expansion Print All

Initiative Title	TRiO Resource Center Lounge Expansion
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	TRiO serves a continuous population of 140 students per fiscal year, while supporting additional students that meet program eligibility criteria, but are unable to fully participate due lack of program vacancies. Expanding the current lounge with the purchase of new tables and chairs will allow TRiO to accommodate more students on a daily basis. Offering additional seating provides students with a comfortable, familiar, and safe place to explore social and academic ideology with fellow classmates and TRiO Staff. Through social and academic engagement, TRiO students will develop both personal and institutional connections, thus increasing the rate of student success.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Student connectedness with the campus community will be minimal, thus causing persistence and completion rates to continually decrease or remain the same. In addition, the mentor program may not as successful since we lack the appropriate resources to meet student demand.

Institutional Goals

Goal	How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
STRATEGIC PLAN 2020-2025 Empower Student Success: Equitably link students with their aspirations Goal #1: Identify and reduce the barriers to academic and personal success	Provided the students have a place to interact, social engagement will increase awareness of cultural, and academic difference and develop positive communication skills necessary to interact with other members of the community.
STRATEGIC PLAN 2020-2025 Sustain and Invigorate Our Planned Future: Reimagine Human, Financial and Physical Resources Goal #3: Maximize and more efficiently use technologies and physical resources to enhance the student experience	TRiO staff and students often engage in social, cultural, and/or academic conversations, and can be limited to the number of participants in the conversation due to the space and seating restrictions. Increasing the TRiO student population involvement in these discussions helps a student set priorities, and both academic and career goals. In addition, conversations concerning senior college transferring, graduate school, and plan of study can be identified.
STRATEGIC PLAN 2020-2025 Empower Student Success: Equitably link students with their aspirations Goal #2: Provide individualized resources and guidance to ensure student readiness to succeed at SUNY Orange	Having an accommodative space to discuss student needs provides staff with the opportunity to make specific academic and social engagement plans to meet student need, thus increasing retention, completion and readiness.
