Proactive and Integrated Resources & Supports (PAIRS)

Sunsetted Fall 2021


Mission:

Proactive and Integrated Resources & Supports (PAIRS) will work with the campus community to integrate supports proactively along students’ educational journeys, identifying and addressing inequity and structures of oppression where we find them.


Goals:

  1. Assess student needs and gaps in understanding related to support services.
  2. Inquire into methods and opportunities for building direct relationships with students through student and academic support services.
  3. Assess departmental capacities & resource needs for both instructional and student support services.
  4. Determine opportunities for collaboration and sharing of resource with and among various grants and other resources available to the campus to ensure success and longevity of these programs.

Outcomes:

  1. Meet students where they are: student research related to service perceptions and gaps will be explored. Proposals for enhanced services will be developed.
  2. Assess departmental capacities & needs: assessments will help determine needs.
  3. Broad collaboration among support areas: opportunities for large-scale/innovative means for collaboration will be recommended.

Meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month from 4:00pm – 5:00pm. Meetings are being held virtually until further notice.
