GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES

The Academic Connections department is a key part of the School of Academic Advancement. In the School of Academic Advancement, approximately 150 faculty and staff deliver transitional/developmental, ESL, and orientation success courses as well as academic services that support students from admissions to graduation. Often collaborating with each other, functional areas with the School of Academic Advancement include Transitional Studies, ESL, and College Skills courses; advising and transfer; placement and academic testing centers; libraries and computer labs; creative inquiry undergraduate research; tutoring and coaching services; first year experience; civic engagement; financial education center; and an emergency food pantry.

The mission of the Academic Connections department is to provide students with a skill set to achieve success throughout college and beyond.

Through orientation success courses-which are offered day, night, and weekend in face-to-face, online, fast-track, and learning community formats-department faculty provide success guidance and strategies for approximately 2,000 students (fall and spring terms combined) who have recently graduated from high school or are returning to college after being in the workforce. Faculty members have designed courses to help students learn about campus resources; build time management skills; improve study, note-taking, and test-taking skills; identify learning styles; and explore career options. Through a peer leader program, faculty members recruit seasoned students to serve as role models and leaders in classes.

The department also seeks to develop students beyond the classroom. Through a first year experience program, faculty host engaging activities to help students successfully transition into college by connecting them with resources and services. Campus and Civic Engagement, which encompasses service learning and volunteerism, enhances the student academic experiences and encourages leadership development through service. Based on financial literacy skills taught in the department's courses, a financial education center empowers students to attain academic, career, and life goals. Students with the most critical needs may also use the services of an emergency food pantry, which links to the financial center.
