In support of ETB's mission to holistically develop students, we have initiated a mentoring program called Thrive to cultivate student success through intentional, one-on-one, and small-group mentoring. Thrive prepares students to flourish intellectually, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially. New, on-campus, undergraduate students have the opportunity to be paired with a peer mentor (upperclassman) during their first semester at the University. In addition, upperclassmen may join a small group with an assigned faculty/staff mentor for each academic year.

Title V grants are awarded to Hispanic Serving Institutions. This project was designed to help Hispanic students in STEM majors. Some of the key components of the project include incorporating principles of Project Based Learning into Western Texas College’s curriculum; expanding research opportunities and articulation agreements for students; and utilizing peer tutoring to help STEM students better understand the content of their courses and the problem-solving process.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program is in-person only.

EVALUATION STATUS: Data related to program outcomes are currently being internally and externally collected

PRELIMINARY OUTCOMES DATA: Initial data shows very promising results of the impact of the Title V project. In Gibson Research Group surveys of Project-Based Learning (PBL), the average response to the survey questions was 2.80 in Fall 2018 but had increased to 3.05 in Fall 2021 (responses are recorded on a 1 to 4 scale with 4 being the highest response), indicating that PBL is being implemented in the college curriculum. Other strategies such as tutoring also seem to be increasing academic achievement for STEM students. In Fall 2018, the average grade point average (GPA) for science students was 2.49, compared to 2.83 in Fall 2021, an increase of almost 14%. In math, the average GPA increased from 1.99 to 2.55 (or 28%) over the same time period.

Success Coaching strives to assist our diverse student population in reaching their individual academic goals by providing resources and ensuring equality for all students to achieve their goals and fulfill their potential.

The three interrelated goals of the Success Coaching Program are (1) to help students to develop a clear vision of their own goals, (2) to assist students in developing skills related to academic success, such as study skills, time management, and self-efficacy, and (3) to connect them to other college resources and support personnel as needed.

As a result of participating in the Success Coaching Program, students will have increased self-regulation skills, executive functioning skills, efficacy, and be more self-directed leaners.

Success coaching is available to all Victoria College students, but we target our first time in college (FTIC) students, students on academic warning, academic probation, or academic suspension, student athletes, and students on financial aid appeals.

The data that is provided in this survey only represents our FTIC students participating in Success Coaching. Success Coaching began in 2018, but including all FTIC students began Fall 2021.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.

PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)

PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Since Success Coaching started, there has been a modest, college-wide increase in ABC rates, Fall-to-Spring, and Fall-to-Fall Persistence rates.

In order to be successful, students must have a sufficient amount of interaction with faculty and staff on campus.

PROGRAM SCALE: Medium-scale (reaches between 10 and 25 percent of its target population)

PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Trailblazer Elite students benefit from leadership development, academic enrichment, mentorship, networking, and priority access to student support services.

The Warhawk Success Center will use historical student success data to develop an index to identify those students who are more likely to need success coaching and wrap around support. This will allow us to calibrate the proactive care provided by success coaches, focusing their efforts on the students who are most likely to need it.
The majority of our students have only a vague notion of how the college classes they are taking connect to the career choices they will eventually make. This contributes to poor engagement with faculty and coursework, leading to students dropping out of college. We will clarify and strengthen the connection between academic pursuits and career readiness by adding the Office of Experiential Learning and Career Planning. Engaging students in activities outside the classroom is a high impact practice contributing to the development of critical skill sets boosting success in the classroom and improving the transition to postgraduate study and careers. The War Hawk Flight Plan provides a discipline-specific road map that guides students to key experiential learning opportunities promoting critical 21st Century Career Skills. We think that providing every McMurry student with at least one experiential learning opportunity will improve retention and graduation rates and workforce transition metrics.

Sul Ross State University is the smallest public state university in Texas located in rural West Texas. Sul Ross is listed as a Hispanic Serving institution as 65.35% of our students are Hispanic, well over the 25% benchmark. At the same time only 42.34% of our faculty is minority, with 30.63% of those listed as Hispanic. Clearly the numbers reflect a disproportion of faculty to student demographics. Furthermore most faculty and staff lack the knowledge, awareness, and reflection on how our institution serves and can better serve our Hispanic students. In order to be better prepared to serve our students we will embark in 2022-23 on professional development to focus on cultural competency and what it means to be an HSI.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.

PROGRAM SCALE: Medium-scale (reaches between 10 and 25 percent of its target population)

PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Analysis indicates that those cohorts that use the Wings Up Tuition Grant (WUG) do indeed graduate at faster rates than their peers that do not use, or qualify for, WUG. On average, students that participate in WUG graduate 8 months faster than students who do not. Transfer students who participate in WUG graduate, on average, 3 months faster than their non-WU peers. In addition, of the WUG students that do not graduate in the summer, 99% of them persist into the subsequent fall semester.

We offer free writing support to TAMUK students, faculty, and staff. Accomplished graduate and undergraduate students make up our staff of dedicated tutors. We work with writers through all stages of the writing process, from brainstorming and organizing to revising and polishing. While face-to-face, in-person appointments are the ideal way to experience our services, students (especially distance learners) can also make online appointments.

At the University Writing Center (UWC), we believe writing is more than just a tool. It is a skill every citizen needs, and a craft every student should hone. Our challenge as peer Writing Consultants is to collaboratively assist fellow writers in all stages of the writing process, from generating ideas to editing and proofreading. We meet each writer where she or he is, with respect for individual learning styles. We share with fellow writers the tools necessary to improve her or his writing process, while fostering interactions between peer learners that benefit both the writer and the writing consultant. At the UWC, everyone is a valued colleague in our culture of writing.
