The Strategies to Enhance New Student Engagement (SENSE) program is an academic support services initiative funded by a Title III Strengthening Institutions Programs grant that provides students with advising and success coaching to improve their college experience. The program engages first generation college students to assist them on their journey to success. Through Success Coaching, support is customized to fit specific needs including balancing commitments, connecting with campus resources, growth mindset, resiliency, and academic planning. Academic success workshops on study skills, learning style discovery, financial literacy, and goal setting also engage students in the academic process through the SENSE program. In conjunction with the College Tutoring Center, students are provided an additional layer of academic support in various subjects to enhance their learning experience. The Retention Specialist works side-by-side with students to increase their persistence, retention, and completion rates. The collaboration of these support services provides constant contact and referrals for internal or external services to address their needs.
