Multicultural Retention InitiativesStudents are encouraged to join a retention program designed to meet unique cultural needs of ethnic students challenged with both a new college experience and as a member of a subordinate group in a dominant white population. Retention mentors, workshops in diversity-coping, academic skills, experiential team exercises, cultural activities, UVU resources, motivation, and career planning programs are offered. Peer mentors participate, easing freshmen into a new environment. Individual counseling, tracking and links to UVU resources are provided to encourage retention success. Probationary students are contacted personally, offered tutoring labs, mentoring programs, academic assistance, counseling, academic skill workshops and encouraged to take the Student Success Class. |
