Some programs are tried and true, however. Our Alternatives for Individual Development program, out of the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA), is a summer bridge program for determined first-generation and low-income students, or those from underrepresented backgrounds. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to expect, but those six weeks changed my life,\u201d Urban Studies major Eva Diaz said recently, adding it provided her with a sense of purpose and encouragement. She is on track to graduate in 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The OMA is also overseeing the re-establishment of another historically successful program known as TRIO. With a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the TRIO initiative will support academic success for low-income and first-generation students and those with disabilities. First-Year Seminar (FYS) is another way we build student resilience. Today, more faculty are teaching FYS courses, and an FYS Peer Mentor program has been re-activated. Through the program, peer mentor Abigail Vincent notes she\u2019s able to &#8220;model what resilience looks like \u2014 showing up, staying focused, and learning to bounce back together. It\u2019s about building trust and helping them believe they belong here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such programs complement services offered through the Counseling Center and offices of Retention, Student Success, Student Accessibility, Inclusive Excellence and Belonging, and Student Involvement and Leadership Development (OSILD). These offices have also evolved to meet shifting needs. One example: the OSILD has overhauled the first-year orientation program, extending it beyond Opening Day and well into the academic year, with deeper connections to faculty and FYS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our goal in all of this is to provide the most comprehensive and personalized services possible, reducing the barriers that negatively impact student achievement. The results have been significant: In recent years, the percentage of students who continue their education from term to term has climbed to roughly 87%. This is quite an achievement.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet coordinating these services for each student would result in additional gains. To do this, we\u2019ve already lined up resources from the state and elsewhere, and we look forward to attracting additional support for these efforts from our donor community.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cStudent success\u201d is no buzzword at Worcester State. Since we launched \u201cSucceed in Four\u201d about 15 years ago, it\u2019s something we\u2019ve pursued diligently, across divisions and departments, a common goal that unites us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sincerely, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nBarry M.
