连接 Transitions to the 包瑞德将军 Center
The 连接 Program moved to the 包瑞德将军 Center in March 2024. Program transition coupled with the budgetary changes, provided an opportunity to review the program and reimagine it for the most effective implementation as an early arrival program. It was essential that the re-imagined program be evidence-based and data-informed. We presented the results of the program review and the vision for the program to campus leadership and partners in April 2024, 反响很好.
项目的目标
After months of deliberative work, we developed evidence-based and data-informed learning outcomes for the program:
- A sense of purpose for obtaining a college degree (sense of purpose for degree, 学生身份中心性, 程度的承诺, 制度性承诺)
- A sense of belonging at UNH (identification with the university, 社会匹配, 社会认可, 社会支持, cultural capital in higher education)
- Experience with the college learning process (familiarity with UNH student resources, 学术顾问, communication with professors, 理解教学大纲)
- Academic Skills (time management, note-taking, exam preparation).
- 健康 Skills (connection of well-being with Academic Success, evaluating mental well-being, strategies for stress or anxiety, 沟通同意)
持续改进
We developed a robust and comprehensive assessment plan to evaluate program effectiveness. By collecting feedback data from participating UNH staff members, 连接学生导师, and 连接 student participants, we can engage in a continuous improvement process. 此外, the 连接 student participants complete pre and post-evaluations, which allows us to determine the impact of the program.
迷你课程
We are collaborating with academic colleges to develop a common interdisciplinary mini-course in alignment with the program goals, which will be implemented in 连接 2025.
