Camp Community Co llege.  Students Transitioning through Education Programs Successfully (S. T.E.P.S.) was developed by Paul D. Camp Community College (PDCCC) in Septe mber 2012\, in response to the Virginia Community College System’s (VCCS)\ , Chancellor’s College Success Coach Initiative (CCSCI). The purpose of th is initiative is to increase the number of students that graduate\, transf er\, or earn non-credit credentials. Students are selected based upon meet ing one or more of the following three criteria: First–generation\, ethnic minority\, Pell grant eligible and earned 14 or fewer college credits. Th e VCCS defines the aforementioned students as underserved. Low retention r ates among underserved students are typically attributed to lack of academ ic preparedness\, limited financial resources\, family obligations\, and/o r social incongruence. Coaches assist students with college survival skill s\, goal setting\, life skills development\, and on/off campus resource li nkages. To date\, the program has served 513 students. Data reveal signifi cant outcomes as follows: (a) 70% of students maintained a 2.0 or above GP A\; (b) 134 degrees\, diplomas\, certificates\, or other credentials have been earned\; (c) over $235\,000 in scholarships awarded\; and (d) 3-year average retentions rates: fall to spring (77.86%) and fall to fall (49.46% )\, which consistently exceed the VCCS and PDCCC by 7% to 18%.  DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180328T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180328T150000 LAST-MODIFIED:20210813T202037Z LOCATION:023 Dunbar Library SUMMARY:Students Transitioning Through Education Programs Successfully (S.T .E.P.S.): A Research-Based\, Evidence-Driven Model for Effectively Serving Underserved Students (Webinar) URL;TYPE=URI:/events/students-transitioning-through-e ducation-programs-successfully-steps-research-based-evidence END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
