Panelists will include Provost Indrajeet Chaubey, Monica Holland, Associate Vice Chancellor/Dean of Students, Laura James, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Support, and Andrea Allan, Director for UA Cares, where they could touch on the following key topics:
• Integrated Success Strategies: the university's strategic approach to academic persistence, highlighting resources available through various initiatives and campus departments.
• Holistic Support: the "case management" model used to assist students facing significant life hurdles—including, but not limited to, food insecurity, medical emergencies, and/or housing instability—and how to access support.
• Student Advocacy: the panel's role as advocates, focusing on navigating various campus policies, understanding student rights, and maintaining a safe, inclusive campus culture through campus expectations.
• Nurturing a Culture of Care: how the university identifies students in need of support before a crisis occurs, emphasizing the importance of faculty, staff, community, and peer referrals through the UA Cares reporting system.
