SOAR support first-time students to CTC in fall 2022, spring of 2023 and fall of 2023. Additionally, workshops and sponsored programming for faculty, staff and students will be continued from the Planning Grant, but the focus will be on relationship-building with students using an equity and success mindset. Specific components of SOAR include:
• Success mentoring to include direct aid for CTC students
• Success and equity programming and support for CTC students
• Campus Dialogues on equity, success and mentoring targeting students, faculty and staff
• Directed and intentional student communication and assessment regarding the CTC experience

SOAR builds on CTC’s Planning Grant whereby a workshop series on success, equity and engagement for faculty and staff was held in order to collect valuable feedback about initiatives being pursued and those that should be pursued. SOAR also builds on the work of the Student Success Advisory Team (SSAT) who studied first time at CTC cohorts in fall of 2019, 2020 and 2021 and determined that CTC loses the first-time population in the fall or immediately following the fall and that over half of the cohort are part-time, do not access a Pell, and do not complete the classes that they initially enroll in. Intentional support for these students and the issues that they face and continued training to the faculty and staff who serve them are required.

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

The STARS Plan program was designed to support students who are struggling academically. Our target population of students are those who are between the GPA of 2.00-2.49. At any given time, these students could fall below a 2.00 GPA, leading to suspension both academically and of financial aid. Dropping below this threshold could also present a challenge for students who are planning to transfer and/or those seeking programs that require above a 2.5 GPA to be admitted. The STARS Plan serves as a supportive system to ensure retention and persistence. Tutoring, resources, academic planning and staff support are all part of the process. Currently, student are not automatically enrolled in this program, but are are invited by their advisors to create a plan once they surpass the aforementioned threshold.

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.

Under the direction of the Director of Student Retention, the goal of the Student Success Coaches is to build rapport with students through communication and trust. The Success Coaches use an early alert program called CRM Advise to identify students that are at risk, as they enter the College. The markers used are socioeconomic factors, test scores, EFC numbers, and FTIC status. Success Coaches are responsible for communicating with these students, to ensure that they are aware of services, on campus activities, and social clubs. Using the CRM Advise program, faculty members are also able to send alerts to the Success Coaches when there is a student that is exhibiting at risk behavior(s) in the classroom. The factors that are used would be missing class, assignments, not prepared, and poor performance on assignments. When a professor creates an at-risk alert in Advise, the Success Coach will contact the students through text, email, and phone calls. The Coaches will attempt to build a rapport with the student in an effort to figure out where they can help. In many cases, the student will be referred to on-campus resources, offered time management tips, study strategies, and test taking strategies. The Success Coaches also act as academic advisors to all students and a Financial Aid advisor to students. Finally, the Success Coaches are responsible for all New Student Orientations (NSO). These orientations are offered as a face-to-face option and an online option. The NSO is the first step to improving the first-year experience for the students. The Success Coaches give the students an understanding of what it will take to be successful, while also providing the new students with a clear picture of what is expected of them.

Students participating in this program have 2 options: requesting a one-time session to work on a particular skill, or meeting for multiple sessions on a weekly or as-needed basis. Students opting for a one-time session are assigned based on schedule and skills requested to an available coach.

The student's Success Coach coordinates a skill development plan with the student utilizing material from the student's current courses. Students are able to schedule their initial appointment by emailing or calling the office phone. After the student's initial appointment students can then schedule their own appointments at their convenience.

The skills that a Success Coach and students may develop include, but are not limited to, organization and time/task management, academic reading speed and strategy, note taking methods, test-taking strategy, critical thinking, and public speaking. The students' academic progress in these skills is monitored throughout the semester by their Success Coach. Success Coaches also offer students practical help with digital tools such as Blackboard and file sharing/editing in Google Drive for facilitating group work. Coaching sessions are available face-to-face or online via Blackboard Collaborate or Zoom as needed.

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

Organizational Overview
UNT Dallas's mission is to transform the lives of our students by empowering them with the resources they need for success. UNT Dallas has a unique focus on serving under-resourced students in metro Dallas, becoming a pathway to the middle class for thousands of area students. Our core competence is preparing local students for high-need jobs in North Texas.

Program Overview
The Trailblazer Elite program (TBE) promotes student retention and ensures students successfully graduate from college. The program is designed to increase student retention, graduation rates in a timely manner, and career attainment. Traditionally, the TBE program has focused on first-generation college students. We teach students how to develop a support network that will help them navigate through their college journey and life.

Program Goals & Objectives
The TBE program is designed to build supportive and trusting relationships, provide academic support, and prepare students for a successful college transition for non-traditional students. In order to be successful, students must have a sufficient amount of interaction with faculty and staff on campus.

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: Trailblazer Elite students benefit from leadership development, academic enrichment, mentorship, networking, and priority access to student support services. Programmatic touch-points, metrics, and early alerts increase student success, retention, graduation rates, and career attainment.
Of those selected to participate in the first cohort, 95% were retained from Fall 2020 to Fall 2021. 86% were retained from Fall 2021 to Fall 2022.
Compared to similar students outside the program, the Trailblazer Elite students: (1) had higher retention rates; (2) 84% are in good standing with the university; and (3) are 80% more engaged with the university.
