Using a Partnership Model to Support College Access and Student Success
Wheelock’s College Access and Student Success programs and the Boston University Office of Undergraduate Admissions, working closely with community partners, utilize a partnership model to support college access for precollege students and student success for undergraduates who matriculate at Boston University.The model initiates when BU Admissions engages potential partners by describing BU’s commitment to access and success and builds a pipeline with the organization’s students through targeted information sessions, student interviews, and in some cases sponsored visits to campus. Once students matriculate at the University, Admissions connects admitted students to Wheelock College’s Access and Student Success (CASS) office. CASS recruits and trains BU faculty and staff to serve as volunteer student mentors and actively supports them in this role. The scope of mentorship includes individual meetings and group activities designed to encourage students’ participation in NSSE’s High Impact Practices.This workshop will provide the rationale, context, and preliminary outcomes of this low-cost model, which is both scalable and replicable
