What does it really take for a student to make their way through college? Step into a student’s shoes for an interactive experience designed to explore the many parts of a student’s journey—from academics and juggling finances to establishing connections on campus, meeting responsibilities, finding belonging, facing unexpected challenges, and planning for the future.

How is the semester going for your students—and what small adjustments could make a meaningful difference in their learning? All faculty are invited to participate in the Mid-Semester Feedback (MSF) Program, a confidential, non-evaluative opportunity to hear directly from students about what is supporting their learning and what may help them succeed during the remainder of the course.
