The Career/Technical supply reimbursement program allows for grant funds to alleviate financial burdens on students in specific career and technical education programs. Hence, breaking down barriers for students. The program reimburses students up to $250 for out-of-pocket expenses. The expenses are program specific and are required by the program. Nursing (RN/LVN), Pharmacy Technician, Emergency Medical Services, and Surgical Technology program expenses may include badges, scrubs/uniforms/lab coats, watches, stethoscope, shoes, electronic device, and blood pressure cuff. Welding could include the student's welding hood and gloves. Barber and Cosmetology expenses could include the required student kit (manikin heads, clippers, shears, combs, brushes, hair dryers, curling irons, etc). Students have been very appreciative of the reimbursement program. Many, as we know, don't have extra funds for the additional costs that financial aid can't cover.

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.
