Defining Student Success Means Looking at the Whole Individual
If you read any national articles about higher education, you’re likely to find the phrase “student success” used in almost every paragraph. But what those articles don’t often tell you is what they mean by student success – do they mean degree and certificate completion, meeting a personal or professional goal, or gaining a new skill? When you ask students how to define success, you might get answers that range from “I want to get an A in that class” to “I need to take three classes to be eligible for a promotion at work” or “I’m planning on pursing a medical degree and I need to complete my associate degree in order to transfer to a four-year school.” At Waubonsee Community College, we are committed to helping each of those students be successful. This year, Waubonsee is launching the Connect4Success program to help even more students define what success means to them and meet their personal goals.
Experiential Learning Paves the Way to Employment
One of the best ways to ensure employment related to your major after graduation is to spend some time gaining work experience related to your field of interest. For many college students, internships and other experiential learning opportunities result in job offers even before graduation.
