Student Success in College• College completion
• a primary indicator of student success in college
• a gauge of an individual’s economic potential and contribution to the community and the workforce.
• a measure of the productivity of colleges and universities.

![Page 7: Student Engagement: Ramapo College. Steering Committee Beth Barnett, Provost Miki Cammarata, AVP Student Affairs Pat Chang, AVP Student Affairs Eric Daffron,](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e735503460f94b732b5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is Student Engagement?
Student engagement represents the time and effort students devote to activities empirically linked to the intended outcomes of college and what institutions do to both provide these activities and induce students to participate in them (Kuh, 2009).
![Page 8: Student Engagement: Ramapo College. Steering Committee Beth Barnett, Provost Miki Cammarata, AVP Student Affairs Pat Chang, AVP Student Affairs Eric Daffron,](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e735503460f94b732b5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
substantive interaction with peers, faculty, and staff
first year seminars, peer mentoring/education,
faculty-student research,
student attendance/presentation at conferences,
living-learning communities,
service learning, common readings, or study abroad,
campus jobs, clubs, organizations and teams.
COMMONLY RECOGNIZED
HIGH IMPACT ACTIVITES
THAT ENGAGE STUDENTS:
![Page 9: Student Engagement: Ramapo College. Steering Committee Beth Barnett, Provost Miki Cammarata, AVP Student Affairs Pat Chang, AVP Student Affairs Eric Daffron,](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e735503460f94b732b5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Positive Outcomes of Student Engagement
Student engagement is generally considered to be among the better predictors of learning and personal development (Carini, Kuh, & Klein, 2006).
“Educationally purposeful” practices produce the following student outcomes:• Investing time and effort
• Interacting with faculty, staff, and peers about substantive matters
• Experiencing diversity
• Responding to more frequent feedback
• Reflecting and integrating learning
• Discovering relevance of learning through real-world experiences
(Brownell & Swaner, 2010)
![Page 10: Student Engagement: Ramapo College. Steering Committee Beth Barnett, Provost Miki Cammarata, AVP Student Affairs Pat Chang, AVP Student Affairs Eric Daffron,](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e735503460f94b732b5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Student Engagement Plan
How an institution deploys its resources and organizes the curriculum, other learning opportunities and support services to lead to positive experiences and desired outcomes such as persistence, satisfaction, learning and graduation. (Kuh, 2001 and Pascarella/Terenzini, 2005)
![Page 11: Student Engagement: Ramapo College. Steering Committee Beth Barnett, Provost Miki Cammarata, AVP Student Affairs Pat Chang, AVP Student Affairs Eric Daffron,](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e735503460f94b732b5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why did we decide to focus on Student Engagement?
• Survey data showing perception of Ramapo College as a “suitcase” college.
• Survey data showing unsatisfactory level of student time dedicated to out of class academic work.
• Policy change to no freshman cars on campus.
• Procedure changes on alcohol policy violations.
• Desire to improve retention and graduation rates.
• Student success!

Today’s College Students
• Digital Natives
• Most diverse generation in Higher Education history
• At once more connected and more isolated than their predecessors
• Facing worst economy in recent memory but continue to have high aspirations for the future
![Page 36: Student Engagement: Ramapo College. Steering Committee Beth Barnett, Provost Miki Cammarata, AVP Student Affairs Pat Chang, AVP Student Affairs Eric Daffron,](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e735503460f94b732b5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Today’s College StudentsContinued….
• Academic skills developed from “teaching to the test”
• More dependent on parents – “not permitted to skin their knees”
• Much more likely to move back home with parents
• Born into and will live their lives in a nation enduring profound change at a speed and magnitude never before experienced
![Page 37: Student Engagement: Ramapo College. Steering Committee Beth Barnett, Provost Miki Cammarata, AVP Student Affairs Pat Chang, AVP Student Affairs Eric Daffron,](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110210/56649e735503460f94b732b5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Today’s College StudentsContinued….
• Engaged in community service
• Utilitarian in their goals for College
• More issue-oriented than ideological
• Will likely have 8-10 different jobs and 3-4 different careers in a lifetime

What should our students know and be able to do by Graduation…

Undergraduate Research
UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH
Many colleges and universities are now providing research experiences for students in all disciplines. Undergraduate research, however, has been most prominently used in science disciplines. With strong support from the National Science Foundation and the research community, scientists are reshaping their courses to connect key concepts and questions with students' early and active involvement in systematic investigation and research. The goal is to involve students with actively contested questions, empirical observation, cutting-edge technologies, and the sense of excitement that comes from working to answer important questions.

Diversity/ Global Learning
DIVERSITY/GLOBAL LEARNINGMany colleges and universities now emphasize courses and programs that help students explore cultures, life experiences, and worldviews different from their own. These studies-which may address U.S. diversity, world cultures, or both-often explore "difficult differences" such as racial, ethnic, and gender inequality, or continuing struggles around the globe for human rights, freedom, and power. Frequently, intercultural studies are augmented by experiential learning in the community and/or by study abroad.

Service Learning/Community-Based Learning
SERVICE LEARNING, COMMUNITY-BASED LEARNINGIn these programs, field-based "experiential learning" with community partners is an instructional strategy-and often a required part of the course. The idea is to give students direct experience with issues they are studying in the curriculum and with ongoing efforts to analyze and solve problems in the community. A key element in these programs is the opportunity students have to both apply what they are learning in real-world settings and reflect in a classroom setting on their service experiences. These programs model the idea that giving something back to the community is an important college outcome, and that working with community partners is good preparation for citizenship, work, and life.

Internships/ Cooperative Education
INTERNSHIPSInternships are another increasingly common form of experiential learning. The idea is to provide students with direct experience in a work setting-usually related to their career interests-and to give them the benefit of supervision and coaching from professionals in the field. If the internship is taken for course credit, students complete a project or paper that is approved by a faculty member.

Capstone Courses
CAPSTONE COURSES AND PROJECTSWhether they're called "senior capstones" or some other name, these culminating experiences require students nearing the end of their college years to create a project of some sort that integrates and applies what they've learned. The project might be a research paper, a performance, a portfolio of "best work," or an exhibit of artwork. Capstones are offered both in departmental programs and, increasingly, in general education as well.
