Goal 2

Goal 2

IU Southeast will improve availability and visibility of high-impact practices to all students to increase retention.

Strategies

1. Increase availability of internship and other experiential opportunities to all students, particularly at-risk students.
   1. Lower internship credit hour requirements to be in-line with regional universities.
   2. Increase availability of zero credit hour internship opportunities.
   3. Seek new resources to fund these opportunities.
2. Increase visibility of internship and other experiential learning opportunities to all students.
   1. Disseminate and document experiential opportunities that exist within individual programs on social media and the website.
   2. Integrate Career Development Center support to programs offering experiences through capstone classes, service hours and practicum hours.
   3. Ensure students are exposed to experiential learning in all degree programs through modalities that work for each program structure and hours requirements.
3. Increase availability of mentorship opportunities.
   1. Develop short term mentoring through the Career Development Center.
   2. Facilitate digital mentoring to allow students and mentors to increase interaction.
   3. Begin a ‘2 plus 2’ mentoring program- first two years with campus mentors and second two years with community or employer mentors.
   4. Conduct several Collegiate Summer Institutes for all students who wish to attend, targeting at-risk students but ensuring they do not have to self-identify as part of an at-risk group.
   5. Expand student mentoring by implementing suggestions from the Crimson Ribbon Panel (e.g., broadening success coaching and increasing basic study skills).
