The journey to reaching one&#8217;s goals hinges on access to and awareness of vital student success resources. Nicole Guerrero Trevino, Ph.D., Vice President for Student Success at TimelyCare points to a <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/timelycare-introduces-student-success-coaching\/?cat=news\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">recent survey<\/a> in which 95% of students acknowledged they face significant challenges in reaching their full potential.<\/p><p>\u201cMental health, financial stress, academic preparedness, career readiness, and basic needs and security are just some of the obstacles students deal with while in college,\u201d said Trevino.<\/p><p>As part of its <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/resources\/genztressed-redefining-student-success-strategies-that-remove-barriers\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">GenZtressed Webinar Series<\/a>, TimelyCare hosted a lively discussion about redefining student success and strategies for removing barriers, moderated by Melissa Ezarik, Student Success Editor at <em>Inside Higher Ed<\/em>.<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"stress-impeding-success\"><\/span>Stress impeding success<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>According to Ezarik, a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/student-success\/health-wellness\/2023\/08\/07\/10-takeaways-college-student-health-and-wellness\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\"><em>Inside Higher Ed<\/em> Student Voice\/College Pulse survey<\/a> revealed that three out of four students said stress is negatively impacting their ability to finish college. Panelists Cynthia Hernandez, Ph.D., VP of Student Success at Texas State University, and Emily Stone, Ed.D., Dean of Counseling and Student Success Programs at Diablo Valley College, emphasized the importance of early intervention to support struggling students. Regular check-ins and formal surveys help keep administrators informed of what\u2019s impeding student success.<\/p><p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a number of systems that help us keep a pulse on our students in that first year,\u201d said Hernandez. \u201cWhether that be RA checks in the residence halls\u2026as well as peer mentors, that we might have in some of our first-year experience courses and then, the first year experience, staff or faculty leading that particular course.\u201d<\/p><p>Diablo Valley College has participated in surveys that revealed gaps in basic needs, such as food and housing insecurities, and underserved mental health needs. Stone said, \u201cNot unlike many community colleges and higher ed institutions, we have seen in particular post-pandemic, a burgeoning area of need around addressing student basic needs.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWe want to have early identification of student needs to get students connected to resources that we may have to offer them ideally at the beginning of the semester rather than waiting and finding out mid-semester,\u201d said Stone.<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"student-engagement\"><\/span>Student engagement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>Beyond addressing immediate challenges, fostering ongoing student engagement and involvement in extracurricular activities is integral to promoting success. Ezarik said a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/student-success\/college-experience\/2024\/01\/23\/credentials-student-involvement-co-curricular\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">fall 2023 Student Voice survey by<em> Inside Higher Ed<\/em> and College Pulse<\/a> found that one-third of students spend no time weekly on extracurricular activities on campus. \u201cStress from academic workload specifically seems to play in campus involvement or lack thereof\u2026Have you made efforts to help students feel less stressed about their coursework?\u201d asked Ezarik.<\/p><p>\u201cProfessors everywhere would agree that giving less work is not the answer,\u201d said Hernandez. \u201cPart of it is really addressing the root of academic stress and sometimes we see that through our counseling center, or through our student success staff, our tutoring staff, our success coaching staff, to really be able to hone in on what\u2019s at the root of that issue and help students navigate how to get through that.\u201d<\/p><p>At a community college like Diablo Valley College, the seasonality of transfer season can cause academic stress and influence those students\u2019 ability to engage in extracurricular activities, said Stone. However, she said, \u201cWe also recognize the importance of students who have transfer as a goal, for example, of being engaged as part of making their transfer application a more competitive application. So, it&#8217;s helping students to authentically engage in those activities and maintain their academics.\u201d<\/p><p>She said non-traditional students at community colleges may also be juggling family and work responsibilities. Faculty and staff are encouraged to co-create experiences with students. \u201cWe know that just making one meaningful connection for a community college student, yields tremendous gains in our retention.\u201d<\/p><p>Hernandez noted that requiring students to live on campus during their first year has improved engagement at Texas State. \u201cWe\u2019re building a sense of place where students feel welcomed and valued,\u201d she said. \u201cWe want to be memory makers, not just event coordinators.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section
