The Holistic Exploration of Careers by Hands-on Opportunities (HECHO) program is a comprehensive career preparedness initiative that includes hands-on learning opportunities for first generation and economically disadvantaged students. HECHO is a Spanish word meaning “made” or “done.” HECHO at TLU is designed to ensure first generation and economically disadvantaged students make progress toward career preparedness through personal exploration and experiential learning via an asset/strength-based program. This program is three-fold: 1) a focus on personal skills and strengths identification, followed by 2) hands-on career preparedness activities, and 3) faculty training on StrengthsFinder with course integration.

The Basic Needs Center is a campus support component within the Division of Student Affairs. The center, which encompasses the Food Pantry, Dress for Success Hub, and the Community Resource Room, are designed to connect TLU students with essential resources that are necessary for their personal, academic, and career success. As a virtual and physical hub of services, The Center is focused on collaborating with on-campus and community partners to meet the basic needs of our students. We provide students with education to connect with resources that will help them to navigate local, state, and national resources in addition to helping support life and crisis situations.
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: We have identified some students are impacted by food insecurity, especially students from low income and first generation backgrounds. In addition, students have difficulty navigating existing systems and processes that would give them access to meet their basic and career needs.
