Texarkana College's (TC) I AM FIRST Project goal is to better support first-generation students on three levels: socially, emotionally, and academically. Our objectives are to serve all our first-generation students with the strategies that foster their sense of social belonging in our college community, support their self-efficacy and mental well-being, and develop their skills to succeed in the classroom and, ultimately, in their careers. TC's student body is approximately 75% first-generation. Success coaches will engage with students through group meetings, one-on-one appointments, and personalized text messaging. We also strive to get first-generation students involved in campus activities outside of the classroom. The Student Success Coach will have the tools to make referrals or contacts on the student's behalf and provide highly individualized coaching tailored to each student's needs. The assigned success coach will remain an advocate for the student from the student's first semester at TC until graduation, giving students the resources, skill-building opportunities, and confidence, they need to succeed.

Peer Mentoring (First Year Seminar courses)

Rating
0.0 stars

Peer Mentors have successfully completed the Learning Frameworks course and now work closely with the First-Year Seminar instructor to provide peer mentoring and instructional support to one section of the Learning Frameworks's first-year and transfer students. Coordinating with an assigned Learning Frameworks faculty member to prepare for each weekly lesson, peer mentors serve as liaisons between students and faculty. Peer mentors are also clearinghouses for student success resources and campus events. They exemplify critical thinking by modeling class assignments, assessing weekly writing assignments, and facilitating small group discussions. During weekly peer mentor-student conversations about academic success tips, co-curricular opportunities, and targeted workshops, they create an atmosphere of trust, responsibility, and encouragement with students.

The First-Year Seminar Peer Mentor Program also benefits peer mentor cohorts. Peer mentors develop leadership skills vital to college and professional success; receive mentorship from faculty supervisors; create a close community within their cohort through shared trainings and experiences; cultivate fairness by engaging in challenging assumptions about cross- and intra-cultural diversity; and participate in professional development opportunities such as presenting at academic conferences, moderating First-Year Seminar events, and networking with campus and community leaders.

College Promise Programs (CPPs) were created to address college access, affordability, equity, and inclusion for students from underrepresented backgrounds. Texas Woman's University (TWU) has partnered with several area CPPs in the last few years to support the initiative of making college enrollment and completion a reality for students. The target populations for the program are first-generation college students, low-income students, and students from underrepresented backgrounds. During the summer of 2021, TWU launched its pilot Summer Bridge program where a group of incoming students were invited to participate in a three-part summer experience. Part one included a two-day, overnight experience on-campus, part two included a five week virtual workshop series, and part three was early fall residence hall move-in and participation in a retreat. The Promise Summer Bridge program has three goals for students following their participation in the program: 1) students will be able to connect with on-campus resources and support services, before the first day of school; 2) students will leave feeling a sense of belonging at TWU; and 3) students will feel more prepared for the start of school.
