Start With Support (SWS) aims to connect residential students to their academic goals while also fostering a sense of closeness with their residence hall staff. SWS, at its core, involves establishing continuous relationships with students to create academic readiness within the first two-years of their college experience to improve persistence and retention across the board. By following TCU Housing's relationship model, "Knowing, Connecting and Empowering" (KCE), SWS allows students to engage and identify resources and methods to improve their academic goals and college experience.

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: TCU staff identified 157 residential students who may have needed academic support in fall 2022, and 70 of those students engaged in SWS. In spring 2023, staff identified 101 students for SWS, and 51 residents participated.

The Store is Baylor University's on-campus food pantry - a resource available to all enrolled Baylor University Students, but especially developed for our most underrepresented and high financial need students. Our objectives are both remedial and preventative.

Our remedial goals are primarily to ensure all Baylor Students have access to adequate food and nutrition while enrolled at Baylor, and that lack of access to food (or food insecurity) not become a barrier to retention. The Store gives students unlimited access to fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, milk, eggs, pantry staples, snacks and personal hygiene products (including diapers for students who are parents of young children). Students are also connected to additional resources include allocating them with donated meal swipes they can use at our on-campus dining facilities, referring them to SNAP application assistance professionals, and other community and campus resources.

Another remedial focus of the Store is to tackle feelings of shame, social isolation, and a lack of belonging. We do this through community meals, advocacy and other events.

Our preventative objectives are focused on advocating for structural, systemic and policy changed that will create resilience to food insecurity for our 'campus ecosystem' as a whole, and mitigate food insecurity risk factors for individual students within it. Our goals include securing universal access to public transport for all enrolled students, advocating for efficient routes to and from the grocery store, and identifying and understanding other vulnerabilities of our campus eco-system and developing programs and resources to mitigate them.

Our program has created numerous collaborative and cross-discipline experiential learning opportunities for students through internship opportunities for student social workers, dietetics and nutrition, and public health students. Additionally, we provide many classes (like marketing, public relations, etc.) with numerous experiential learning opportunities in the form of semester-long practical projects or assignments.

For TVCC, Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) has a single overarching goal: To provide the optimal number of students for every part of the college, based on the college mission and capacities. To do that, SEM initiatives influence students in three areas: 1) Recruitment, 2) Retention, and 3) Student Satisfaction.

Responsible for implementing process within those three areas is the SEM Committee. This is a large, campus-wide committee with a very wide reach. Each member of the SEM committee also oversee a subcommittee that has a particular purpose within the overall SEM structure. For example, our subcommittees include: Retention, Diversity and Inclusion, Recruitment, Campus Beautification, Safety and Security, Workforce, etc. These committees were chosen after an extensive SWOT analysis.

SEM touches every area of campus, touching every service and activity from the time a student makes an inquiry through a student's graduation into alumni status.

At TVCC we began with a SWOT analysis of our current position within the market and determined four focus areas for our first year of the SEM project. (We also incorporated project management training for all SEM members.) The four focus areas for our first year were: 1) Building necessary infrastructure in all areas, 2) Ensure safety guidelines are met on all campuses, 3) Grow retention and recruitment, and 4) Detangle confusing student processes.

We have been working on these four focus areas for the last year. We have been successful in all four areas. We are now shift into our second year of SEM, where collection and use of data will become paramount.

Our ultimate goal through SEM is to have our optimal number of students on all campuses and in all activities, including academics.

If eligible, your student will have access to a variety of supports such as: A T3 Last Dollar Scholarship covers any remaining tuition costs after all Pell grants and/or other federal, state, or institutional aid have been applied. In other words, last dollar scholarships cover the gap -- any last dollars needed to cover the student's tuition. The UTA and T3 partnership serves Fort Worth ISD students by offering personalized guidance and programming throughout high school into college, helping students achieve a world class degree. Become a T3 Scholar by completing the T3 Partnership Pledge by the T3 pledge deadline of your senior year of high school.

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.

The Division of Student Affairs is utilizing Implementation Grant to employ a redesign of how learning and engagement opportunities for
students are achieved. The redesign is modeled on the Curricular Approach to Student Affairs work. A curricular approach is an increasingly popular method of organizing out-of-classroom learning and engagement experiences for college students. The approach entails the development of learning objectives and then sequencing and scaffolding designed learning experiences to achieve these objectives. Through this focus on student learning and throughout the design process, formative and summative assessment measures are more easily identified, designed, and analyzed to allow for overall
curriculum review, improvement, and advancement. With the assistance of the ASSI Planning Grant, the planning work has already begun and we are excited to develop and launch the curriculum at West Texas A&M

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.
