These recommendations were developed by UVU's Faculty Connections & Academic Experience committee, a committee comprised of faculty members representing each of UVU's colleges and schools.
| 1. | Utilize all the faculty tools every semester. |
| (The 3-Week Project, Early Alert, and Midterm Grades) Provide students with feedback to help them access the resources they need to be successful in class. | |
| 2. | Utilize student-centered pedagogy. |
| Cultivate your student's sense of responsibility and accountability for their education. | |
| 3. | Whenever you can, foster opportunities for meaningful academic and social interaction with students outside the classroom: |
| -Mentor students outside of class. | |
| -Engage in orientation (this can be as easy as having your lunch with new students on UVU Orientation days). | |
| -Participate regularly in your college or school's student-oriented events (open houses, Dean's "Meet & Greet," etc.). | |
| -Provide club leadership. | |
| 4. | Set and adhere to regular office hours. |
| Encourage students to ask questions outside of class and give them your full attention when they drop by. | |
| 5. | Sponsor service learning. |
| Encourages student understanding of, and commitment to, civic responsibility. | |
| 6. | Lead student research teams. |
| Provides additional mentoring opportunities and ways to model engaged scholarship. |
Additionally, you are highly encouraged to participate in the quarterly Student Success Luncheon Series sponsored by the Office of Student Success & Retention.
