These topics address a variety of personal and academic issues students may experience. The intent of this program is to aid in building a supportive setting for our students in as many venues as possible. Students are given the opportunity to build connections, not only with their classroom instructors but also with counselors from The Center for Student Development. The more involved students are in their own learning, the more persistent and successful they may be in college. By tying together academic ideas and developmental concepts, we can impact students' total learning experience.

We hope to accomplish the following objectives:

• Expose students to information that may increase the student's success rates in classes.
• Increase students' resilience to normal stresses of academic life.
• Increase student's comfort level with counselors in Student Development, so they are more likely to seek out available resources.
• Increase student's personal understanding of his or her own life circumstances.
• Integrate academic advising with the whole college experience.
• Build collaboration between Academic Affairs and Student Services.

Faculty members may request an "entrée" be presented in their class on a day the professor will be absent due to a conference or other circumstances or simply as a way to address an issue you observe with your students.
