SHSU is a partner of Navigate EAB and utilizes this technology as our primary student success management system. The Coordinated Care Network is a function of Navigate EAB and has been employed at SHSU as a retention-based partnership across several divisions. The Coordinated Care Network supports student success by bridging institutional efforts in receiving and triaging student alerts and referrals through Campus Connect (Navigate EAB). When faculty or staff issue an alert or referral, Campus Connect is configured to enact a chain of technology driven events to connect the student with the expert department who then provides appropriate intervention. Additionally, we target high-needs students to submit an alert or referral on themselves to receive assistance with their particular need(s). Overall, students who are alerted through the Coordinated Care Network and/or self-alert process experience positive gains in credit completion, term GPA outcomes, and persistence rates.

The corequisite model at Amarillo College, for math and English, is a …
The corequisite model at Amarillo College, for math and English, is a paired model with a 3-hour transfer course and a 3-hour support course. The corequisite model decreases time to completion by enrolling academically underprepared students in transfer-level classes, thereby eliminating the elongated timeline of the traditional prerequisite developmental education pathway. Academically underprepared students are treated as a cohort, enrolling in both sections for a total of 6 hours, and are not commingled in the transfer-level course. The support course functions like a lab or workshop and does not have a separate Developmental Education curriculum. Amarillo College uses embedded tutors in the support course to assist the instructor with one-on-one and group tutoring sessions. The transfer-level courses are: English Composition I, College Algebra, Mathematics for Business & Social Sciences, Contemporary Mathematics, and College Algebra for STEM Majors.

Embedded tutors (ETs) work closely with instructors for the duration of a …
Embedded tutors (ETs) work closely with instructors for the duration of a course to help students understand course concepts and enhance student engagement. The tutor attends class meetings each week, and class attendance is based on the needs of the students and the structure of the class. In the classroom, the ET functions as a mentor and a model for successful academic strategies and habits. ETs are not classroom observers, teaching assistants, personal assistants to the instructor, or instructors. They have authority over students because instructors introduce them into courses. ETs follow the same “hands-off” rules as tutors in the Student Success Center (SSC): Help students understand materials, but don't do the work for them. Embedded tutors use “best practices” learned during the tutor training they receive at the beginning of the semester of employment. The tutors are intended to optimize classroom learning by working with individuals and small groups, including going over an assignment, reviewing a key lesson or skill, and preparing for exams. ETs also take on an advocacy and intermediary role with students, voicing concerns and ideas to the instructor based on student feedback. Their presence in the classroom enables students to better understand their instructor and the lessons. In addition, the tutor may hold study sessions for students outside of the designated class time. Instructors recommend their embedded tutor(s) from students that have previously taken their course and received an “A” or “A-” in the course. Currently, all of the ETs are assigned to courses in the College of Science and Engineering.

The Kilgore College Early Alert program is designed to improve the retention and persistence of all students by providing added instructional support to low-risk, medium-risk, or high-risk students. One of the institutional core values is success and improvement and escalating student success. The goal is to increase faculty involvement in the Early Alert System.
The Instructional Student Support Department works closely with the retention team members and faculty to increase early alert participation through training, emphasizing using the system each term and implementing the five steps to engage students in the intervention process. The fives steps are: (1) reach out to the student within 48-hours of receiving the early-alert assignment by phone, (2) email, (3) virtual meeting, and (4) in person when needed; additional, each student account will be noted thoroughly with the intervention performed. (5) Finally, feedback on the interventions will be sent to the submitter (faculty/staff member) and the retention manager. The submitted concerns include attendance, grades, general (not grades/attendance), behavioral/disciplinary, confidential, drop from class, financial, other, and withdrawal from college.

Embedded tutoring brings the tutor to the students. The tutors are present for lectures, so they know exactly how the teacher wants the students to attempt their problems. Students are more engaged when in groups and start to become a part of a group. Research has shown that students who feel they belong to a community, tend to stay. Students that need tutoring, but don't go, often say that they are either embarrassed to ask for help, insecure about their intellect, or afraid that others who see them might portray them as dumb. Embedded tutors address all of these concerns by sending the tutor to the students instead of the other way around.

The F.A.T.E. Center is an initiative at Texas A&M University-San Antonio that serves foster and adopted youth enrolled at the institution who have been touched by the foster care system. Our program works with foster/adopted youth through the enrollment pipeline helping students complete their FAFSA, ETV, TSI testing, and new student orientation. Once the student enrolls at the institution, students are assigned a peer mentor who works with the student to engage with other foster youth, the campus community as a whole. The peer mentoring program is also focused on career exploration and major choice. All foster and adopted youth are also assigned an academic coach who works with students on their academic supports. Finally, the program has emergency funds and a supply pantry with non-perishable food, hygiene products, and school supplies. The F.A.T.E. Center contains wrap around supports to make sure foster youth not only enroll at A&M-San Antonio, but that they are retained and graduated.

To accomplish this, VC will use the majority of requested funds to procure a new comprehensive student engagement system or customer relationship management software, often abbreviated to CRM. The remainder of the request will supplement our digital outreach efforts to link more underserved students into the new system.
The target group for improved engagement is our underserved student populations. Empowering underserved students to succeed will require (a) sharing relevant information about VCs services with targeted groups who need it most and (b) understanding how students use services so we can continually increase awareness and support for groups who need it most.
