Caring Campus

 

Caring Campus logoWhat is Caring Campus?

The Institute for Evidence-Based Change (IEBC) created Caring Campus based on research that shows students who feel more connected to their college are more likely to be retained, persist from semester to semester, and complete their academic goals.

  • An intentional effort to make students feel welcome and a sense of connectedness to your college
  • Helps us connect with one another and with other employee groups to create a positive college environment
  • Create behavior change that influence culture change across campus
  • Help the college to reexamine policy barriers to student success
