ACTION PLAN GOAL 1: Increase retention of all first-time Fall 2002 students from 58.7 percent to 59.7 percent. KEY STRATEGY F(1): Determine which faculty and staff are retention-friendly and enlist their help in the retention process with improved communication and selected activities. Description/Explanation: Informal Student Mentoring Steps IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE/TIMETABLE Responsibility Target Date / Completion Date Integrate one to two questions regarding faculty student advocacy and professionalism as part of the University Core Questions of the Faculty Evaluation. The answers from these questions will help to identify faculty who are doing a good job in this area. Enlist broad student input in identifying retention-friendly faculty/staff by initiating a campaign for nominations of Student-Centered ULM Faculty and Staff. Students can nominate any ULM employee who has made a positive impact or done something kind, or even provided consistent outstanding service. The campaign could be a Student Government Association (SGA) project. Collect and review the student complaints protocols in place in an effort to discover if our present system is being used or is even well-defined or published to the students. The goal is to assure that the students have a secure systematic feedback protocol for their concerns. This protocol may be in place, but yet the students don’t know about it or how to use it. Publicize student rights and responsibilities as well as faculty rights and responsibilities targeting students and key faculty. Establish a volunteer mentoring program for Faculty/Staff to provide students with contact outside of the academic advisor who can ask the student about their well-being, address concerns and be a friendly face. This mentoring program would also look to add a peer mentoring component.
