Help spread enthusiasm for the upcoming semesters. Let students know that we would love to see them on campus in the summer and fall. This is a powerful message coming from a faculty member.
Of course, students get emails and other reminders to re-enroll, but an enrollment nudge from a faculty member personalizes this message for students. Please remind students that:
Looking for ways to enhance student engagement? Consider these ideas and access corresponding implementation resources.
Learn from colleagues. Attend Ignite Student Engagement to learn about several student engagement projects funded by UCAT. (March 1, 9:00-10:00 and 10:30-11:30, CEC 201/205)
Talk about teaching. Register for a Teaching Observation that comes with a $300 stipend.
Assign a group project. Review these group work strategies to maximize the experience for students and minimize common concerns about group projects.
Faculty play a key role in getting students connected to support services. When faculty refer students to a service, they are more likely to make an appointment. This comprehensive list of student support services can help you direct students to the appropriate resources. If you have concerns about a student, you can also submit a CARE Team referral.
