In Southwest Texas Junior College's 15/30/40+ Credit Hours Interventions, Success Coaches meet with students whom are seeking an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science when they meet key credit milestones. Success Coaches meet with each student to monitor student progress and plan future courses to keep students on track using student planning at each marker of 15/30/40+. Transfer pathways are also part of student planning. 15/30/40+ are markers for retention and completion. Once a student reaches the 40+ credit mark, the college's transfer team contacts each student to discuss graduation and transfer

At Odessa College, we began our OC Cares journey in the fall of 2019 with the opening of our Wrangler Food Pantry. We added a social worker in February 2021 in our Student Support Services department. This helped to facilitate the distribution of acute emergency aid. Since then, students have reported that their primary needs revolve around housing, transportation, tuition/cost of school related expenses and food. In April of 2021, we added a garden on campus that supplies our Wrangler Food Pantry with fresh produce throughout the year. Our food pantry also has a hygiene supply room to ensure that our students are able to access basic hygiene necessities in addition to food.

What we have seen time after time is that students don’t realize that their needs are an emergency. They feel like someone else’s challenges are more severe than their own. We have worked to debunk that myth for emergency aid distribution in our conversations with students.

Through promotion of emergency aid, we have seen an increase in students utilizing other support services such as our food pantry, mental health services and community resource referrals. As a result of our behavioral intervention seeing an increase in reports surrounding basic needs, we created a separate social services report. We have also instituted a college life coach program where coaches are assigned to freshmen to support them throughout their first year with any resources or communication they might require, as well as checking in with students throughout their semester. We have instituted a student experience survey three times during the semester to identify trends on students curricular, co-curricular and basic needs.

Student Support Services also assists with the Perkins grant.
