The Student Success Center at the University of South Carolina has developed and piloted a comprehensive retention initiative designed to pe rsonally connect students at a large research institution with resources a s they navigate the rigor of the University. Success Connect is a multi-ti ered program consisting of 1) outreach to engage faculty and the assignmen t of a Success Consultant to all first-year students\, 2) an early alert c omponent that includes students referred by faculty and those in target po pulations\, 3) behavior and skill-based interventions via one-on-one consu ltations with a Success Consultant and referrals to center and campus reso urces\, and 4) follow-up with students and faculty. Throughout this proces s\, Success Consultants utilize a combination of the “action-oriented” mod el of intrusive advising (Earl\, n.d.) with the theory-to-practice framewo rk of Appreciative Advising (Bloom\, Hutson\, & He\, 2008) to aid students in designing a plan for academic success. This paper describes an approac h that can be adapted and implemented by student support professionals at any institution.  DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170215T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170215T150000 LAST-MODIFIED:20210813T194948Z LOCATION:023 Dunbar Library SUMMARY:Connecting Students to Success: A Comprehensive Approach to Retenti on and Persistence Podcast URL;TYPE=URI:/events/connecting-students-success-comp rehensive-approach-retention-persistence-podcast END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
