嘉宾: 克雷格·埃斯卡米拉，学生保留和成功主管，招生管理

• 卡特里娜·布伦特负责我们的入学、留校、奖学金和注册服务.
• 我们一直在重组，留住人才，取得成功.
• 我们正在与Valentin安德列夫合作解决这些问题.
• Kayla Holloway是我们本科指导中心的主任.
• 瑞秋·胡佛(Rachel Hoover)是STARS的主管，她在那里面临着扩展服务的问题.
• Grace Drnach is overseeing data collection and helping keep students from falling between the cracks.
• 我们花了很多时间来解决内部问题.
• Kayla is meeting with department chairs to discuss their needs and what they feel are the issues with the UAC. 许多问题发生在部门层面. UAC应该是部门的延伸，而不是相反.
• We are trying to assess who our students actually are, to separate the myth from reality. 这将有助于我们更有效地进行干预.
• 我们正试图将进度报告精简为每学期一份报告. Getting good return rates is vital to student success since this is our first line of intervention. 我们的费率提高了，所以谢谢你把这个消息告诉同事.
• We are reviewing the first time in college population and working on tracking them and building plans for success as well as contacting them if necessary to offer assistance and guidance.
• 我们正在制定一个跟踪核心课程出勤率的计划.
• 我们正在重组红衣主教社区项目.
• We have a coordinator to work with at-risk students; we are working on an individual admissions contract which should help.
• We will be installing academic success coaches to serve as the on-the-ground contact in each college.
• We were recognized by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for improvement in retention.
• 我们学生满意度调查的结果很好. 我们了解到，35-40%的学生每周工作20小时以上. 大约10-15%的人每周工作40小时以上.
• 我们需要向学生澄清，为了在四年内毕业, 他们每学期需要上15个小时的课. We have a culture of about 12 hours per semester and aren’t serving students well by letting them think they can graduate on time by doing that.
• Students report that they like the new Setzer Center, but they are not happy with parking on campus.
• 在回答一位教员的问题时, Escamilla states that we can reopen progress reports if a faculty member requests we do so. 我们还将考虑建立一个三周的窗口期，而不是两周.

主讲嘉宾Judi Mann和Terry Mena代表LU Strong

• 卢斯特朗有一个飓风哈维援助计划/基金. 我们收到了1个.500万美元来自教育部和卡塔尔.
  • Students can receive financial assistance if they or their family were affected by Harvey.
  • They can qualify if they were not a student during Harvey but the hurricane impacted their ability to attend LU or they are a current student who was harmed by the hurricane.
  • 我们有两年的时间来发放这笔钱，所以人们需要申请. 去 拉马尔.edu \ lustrong 应用.
  • 我们目前正在与学生开会讨论和设立奖项.
  • 我们会把表格的副本发给全体教员.
  • Students can receive help if they were students but had to drop out due to Harvey and need assistance to return.
  • 请让您的学生完成已发出的调查. It is a requirement for documenting the need of our students, and need is tied to the funding.
    • About ten percent of students in the fall survey said they were “between places” for living; they are homeless.
    • An additional ten percent said “other” regarding their housing without any additional explanation.
  • The amount of the award will vary depending on which grant the student qualifies for: it is 2500 from the DOE and 5000 from Qatar. 学生有资格回来拿更多的钱.
  • 我们也为学生整理了一份资源清单.
  • 即将毕业的学生仍然有资格.

• Marquart has not yet released the results of the Dean’s review for the deans of education and fine arts and communication. 他说，准备材料的工作已经“接近尾声”.
• We have a plan to call admitted students and ask if they actually plan on attending. 希望这将增加实际与会者的数量.
• The 60x30 plan is going to offer resources to students who are very close to graduation but dropped out to encourage them to finish. 这是完成目标的一部分.

There are financial aid vouchers available for book purchases if a student’s financial aid has not yet come in. We suggest that meetings be held in the colleges to discuss the needs and developments in financial aid.
• 元主要问题正在审查中. 他们已经开始研究这将如何影响留校、财政援助等问题.

• The question is asked if the administration still does a fall orientation for new chairs and administrators. They need to be provided information and training about the faculty handbook and shared governance. 主席们不知道手册上写了什么，这对教职员工来说很危险. 这个问题提交给教员问题委员会.
• Kelly Weeks presented a motion proposing a forensic audit of the university and a vote of no-confidence in President Evans and Provost Marquart. 这项动议得到了瓦伦丁·安德烈夫的支持. 讨论开始了.
