欧洲杯下注 大学 is one of five Texas community 大学s selected to work with the Institute for Evidence-Based Change (IEBC) 将 有爱心的 校园 into their student success efforts in the Fall 2022 semester.

The four other Texas 大学s are:

• 泰勒初级 大学
• 巴黎青年 大学
• 寺庙 大学
• 维多利亚 大学

Supported by IEBC coaching and guidance, 大学 teams will engage in work developing specific behavioral commitments, helping faculty and staff to better connect with, 和支持, students to help them reach their educational goals.

“We’ll be focusing on creating a better work environment for staff through 有爱心的 校园,罗宾·博伊特, Director of 人力资源 said. “A workforce focused on ideas and mutual respect for each other can foster innovation and creativity in serving students.”

The Texas program is funded by the Greater Texas 基金会 (GTF), a private foundation which envisions a state where all students have equal opportunity to access and succeed in postsecondary education. GTF awarded a $597,754 grant to IEBC to implement its 有爱心的 校园 program in two rounds of implementation starting in Fall 2022 and extending through 2023.

“The goal is to increase students’ overall success by implementing specific behaviors leading to cultural shifts on 校园,” IEBC 总统/CEO Brad Phillips said.

Fewer than 90 大学s across the country are currently implementing 有爱心的 校园. Improvements have been reported in course retention and success, increased term-to-term persistence and improved completion and transfer. Achievement gaps are being closed rapidly among demographic groups. Job satisfaction and relationships between staff, faculty and leadership also improved.

"We are a 校园 that cares about our community, and this will serve to further deepen our work.” GC 总统 Dr. Jeremy McMillen said. “The 大学 staff have the first interaction with visitors and future students on 校园, and I look forward to their suggested improvements."

有爱心的 校园 recognizes and leverages the value of connectedness to increase the likelihood that students will continue toward, and succeed in attaining, their educational goals. Faculty and staff interactions with students can set the stage for successful enrollment, persistence and completion. It is particularly important for students from historically underserved populations and students less familiar with 大学 to feel welcome and that they belong in 大学.
