INCREASING STUDENT PERSISTENCE At the University of Memphis, we know that when a student is engaged both inside and outside the classroom, they are more likely to succeed academically, thrive personally and flourish professionally.

Student Affairs offers a variety of programs and opportunities for students to engage in that have a track record of helping our students excel.

Persistence Highlights from fall 2017 to fall 2018 Below are just a few highlights in how our programs and services help UofM students succeed and have higher persistence rates (meaning the student graduated or was retained the following year as a student).

TIGER FOOD PANTRY & CASE MANAGER One of the ways in which the division has changed to meet the evolving needs of our students is the reorganization of the Student Conduct Office, now known as the Office of Student Accountability, Outreach & Support (SAOS).

The office completed a name change in response to increasing referrals of students of concern. The department has increased staffing from one graduate assistant case manager to a full-time case manager and an additional graduate assistant. SAOS has continued to increase the marketing of services and assistance to students of concern through expansion of our case management capacity.

We receive a variety of student concern cases from the University community. We connect students to resources both on and off campus to ensure the personal and academic success of students. The case manager is a member of the University’s Behavioral Intervention Team and leads the University’s CARE Team. Additionally, SAOS coordinates the University’s Tiger Pantry and Tigers Fight Hunger Initiative to assist students who are food insecure. We partner with the Dean of Students to coordinate the Rosie Phillips Bingham Emergency Fund which provides additional financial support to students in crisis.

MEETING DIVERSE NEEDS The Division of Student Affairs at the University of Memphis is committed to making sure that all students are offered opportunities to succeed and flourish. One of the ways in which we honor that commitment is through offering programs that target diverse populations. We offer developmental opportunities that will benefit students long after they graduate. Here are just a few examples.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS:

Women’s Leadership Programs Made possible by a grant from AutoZone, more than 500 women participated in the UofM’s inaugural Women’s Leadership Program which included a lunch & learn series and women’s networking events.

• 96 percent of participants agree that this program has provided them with opportunities to advance and develop their leadership as women.

• 94 percent of student respondents indicate that this program has increased their sense of belonging on campus.

Diversity Ambassadors The Diversity Ambassadors Program encourages students to take an active role on campus and bring awareness to the issues of multiculturalism, equality and social justice. The topics of the program include discussions on: • Diversity & Inclusion

• LGBTQA+ • Ableism/Disability

• Prejudice & Discrimination

• Micro-Aggressions After participating in the Diversity Ambassador Program experience: • 100 percent of the respondents reported that they were more aware of their personal biases.

• 100 percent of the surveyors stated that they can more effectively recognize and address microaggressions.

Veterans 2017-18 saw the creation of the Veterans Community Partner Initiative (VCPI). The VCPI makes community partner agencies and select UofM departments available to help veterans and military students in areas such as health, disability claims, housing and VA education benefits.

Veterans Community Partners work in conjunction with the University of Memphis Veterans and Military Student Services Department to provide an on-site service delivery model that supports veterans and military students with their transition from military to university life and beyond.

“By attending I was able to gain an insight on my future career while also improving my networking skills with various professionals. I loved being able to connect with women from different companies and even received an internship offer!”

-Taylor Shennett, Communication & Social Media Marketing Major “My experiences throughout the Diversity Ambassadors Program have definitely shaped me into a better human being. The most significant lesson I learned was the importance of truly accepting people rather than simply tolerating them. As a result of this program, I was able to recognize and overcome the implicit biases we often overlook or are too afraid to face within ourselves. I will carry the skills learned from this program with me for the rest of my life.”

-Robyn Pennella, Psychology Major “I retired from the United States Army after 20 years of service. It was a horrifying experience for me to say the least. When I found out about the VMSS office I was immediately attracted there. The Vet Center representatives that visit VMSS each week were very helpful and very friendly. Their dedication ensured me of having one less thing to worry about, therefore I could concentrate fully on my studies at the UofM. I am thankful for the services VMSS offers. It gives me even more motivation to be the best student I can.”

-Marcus Dandridge, U.S. Army, Retired

TIGER TALENT It’s an exhilarating time for Career Services at the University of Memphis! Building off the success from the 2016-17 pilot program, Career Services has expanded the number of career specialists to focus on students and employers in specific career areas. Career specialists help students become career ready (Tiger Talent) and gain practical experiences and employment opportunities.

Career Services now has seven Career Specialist positions that focus on health and wellness, social sciences, communication, humanities, STEM, the arts and education. Students in the University College, Academic Counseling Center and the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality & Resort Management also have specialist dedicated to their unique needs.

In addition to the career specialists, career services and Student Affairs broadly have offered numerous programs and services to help students to become Tiger Talent and succeed in their careers after graduation.

TIGER SUIT UP The University of Memphis Career Services helps students become Tiger Talent Ready by assisting them with the successful transition from college to career. With the generous support of JCPenney, that transition includes access to appropriate career apparel necessary to make a great first impression at career fairs and job interviews to secure internships and full-time employment.

On Feb. 25, 2018, 234 UofM students and 70 faculty and staff enjoyed exclusive, after-hours access to JCPenney to shop at a 40 percent discount on select career apparel.

MEMPHIS CAREER PREPARATION ACADEMY The Memphis Career Preparation Academy (MCPA) is a multi-year program, designed to support first-generation students through the critical phase of aligning academic majors with career paths.

Alignment of personal goals, academic major and career options can increase persistence and competitiveness in the internship and job search processes. A coordinated, holistic approach to career education at the onset of the college experience positions students to identify an academic curriculum and engage in critical preparation activities prior to graduation and seeking employment.

In the first year of the program, 42 students actively participated in the academy. More than 76 percent of students declared a major by the end of the year, and more than 95 percent of students were retained to the fall 2018 semester.

SUIT YOURSELF While a discount of the cost of professional clothes greatly expands their availability to students, there are still a significant number of students for whom this lower price is still a burden. Accordingly, Career Services, in partnership with JCPenney, launched the Suit Yourself program in fall 2017. The purpose of Suit Yourself is to ensure that students are Tiger Talent Ready by: • Providing professional attire for career fairs and job interviews • Expanding students’ personal and professional development

IN THEIR OWN WORDS: “I enjoyed getting to learn more on careers, resumes, and building my leadership skills. It was a great source of knowledge and I’m glad I got to meet new people.”

“Being in the MCPA helped reassure me of my career goals, very much strengthening my future career decisions.”

“I believe the MCPA is giving me the tools to reach my career goals with more confidence and giving me what I need to prepare me for future employment within the career that I want.”

“I will be the first generation to reach college in my family-I get the opportunity break the cycle of poverty.

Coming with nothing on our backs as refugees from South Sudan, this is huge for our family. I have the privilege to intern at Assisi Foundation this summer, and the dress code is business casual, with the need to wear a suit whenever we make frequent presentations.

Being a young man of color makes it hard for people to give us a chance to prove our intellect. I am willing to do the best I can to change that, which means presenting myself well outwardly to excel in my endeavors. Thank you.”

• Building students’ confidence and self-esteem through the power of personal appearance Suit Yourself provided students currently enrolled at the University of Memphis (both the main campus and Lambuth) who are firstgeneration college students and/or have a demonstrated financial need with a $150 JCPenney’s gift card and the 40 percent discount coupon.

Career Services hosted four Suit Yourself events in September, October, January and April, serving 132 students resulting in $19,950 in total purchases 7 | ANNUAL REPORT

DISABILITY RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS The University of Memphis is committed to providing equal opportunity and challenge to all academically qualified students with disabilities. Disability Resources for Students serves 800 to 900 registered students annually who have a variety of disabilities.

8 | STUDENT AFFAIRS

FIRST H.I.R.E.S. The First H.I.R.E.S. (Helping Individuals Receive Employment Skills) program started in the 2014-15 academic year as a partnership between Disability Resources for Students and Residence Life to provided employment opportunities to students registered with Disability Resources for Students who had never been employed.

During the 2017-18 academic year, Residence Life saw a 200 percent increase in new First H.I.R.E.S. participants from 2016-17. Between Oct. 28, 2017, and May 11, 2018, the First H.I.R.E.S. staff collectively worked a total of 1,348.35 hours as desk assistants.

89 percent of the First H.I.R.E.S. participants completed the program at the conclusion of the spring 2018 semester. At the end of the semester, all participants acknowledged personal growth as a result of the First H.I.R.E.S. program. Many students demonstrated a drastic improvement in customer service skills, job knowledge, professional tone and other job related skills. Many of the graduates returned to employment with Residence Life in the fall 2018 semester.

In addition to the First H.I.R.E.S program, Disability Resources for Students also collaborates with the Career Services Office to support student transitions from college into the work force. The Career Tracks program helps students with disabilities work on their resumes, develop cover letters, improve interview skills and prepare for conversations about workplace accommodations. Staff also works with students to prepare them for participation in the federal jobs placement program Workforce Recruitment for College Students with Disabilities. Individuals with disabilities compete in their own applicant pools for federal positions, so this program is an area where under- employed and un-employed people with disabilities can make strides to gainful employment.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES (SLPC) One of the important aspects of receiving a college education is the development of skills and competencies that will help college students be more successful throughout the rest of their lives, whether it is in their career, their personal lives or as engaged citizens. While college graduates can often express with confidence that they possess the necessary skills and competencies to contribute professionally and civically, they do not always have the language to express how specific college experiences helped them develop specific skills.

It is for this reason that the offices of Career Services and Student Leadership and Involvement collaborated to create the Student Leadership & Professional Competencies, based off expert research on both leadership and career readiness.

SLPC Learning Clusters Programs and experiences offered to students by the Division of Student Affairs are branded with learning clusters so participants know exactly which skills and competencies they will be developing through their participation. Students are then offered the ability to track and reflect upon these experiences through an online co-curricular transcript. This allows students to gain a better understanding of how these experiences helped them to develop, and prepares them to more effectively articulate those experiences and skills to others.

MEMPHIS IN MAY STUDENT AFFAIRS CONFERENCE One of the other ways that Student Affairs Staff at the UofM contribute to student success is through the hosting the Memphis in May Student Affairs Conference (MIMSAC). This annual conference provides an opportunity for higher education professionals, as well as graduate and undergraduate students interested in the field, an opportunity to gain professional development, network and to share best practices.

The 2018 conference saw a 16.5 percent increase (from 200 to 233) in registrations from the previous year and featured keynote speaker Dr. Sonja Ardoin, who spoke about how issues of social class impact student retention and academic success. Individuals attending the conference came from seven different states - Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee, and represented 21 different institutions.

THANK YOU FOR SHAPING THE FUTURE We hope you will look for ways to support the Division of Student Affairs in promoting student success, retention and graduation. When students participate in programs and services such as those described herein, they are more likely to stay in school and complete a degree. Your support positions us to grow the programs and services we offer.

Your tax-deductible contributions underwrite scholarships and programs that make a difference to our diverse student body in the areas of career services, student counseling, leadership training, multicultural programs, fraternity and sorority life, health and fitness initiatives, adult and commuter student programs, disability services, veterans, parent programs and much, much more. If you have questions, call the Vice President for Student Affairs Office at 901.678.2114 or email student@memphis.edu.

JOINING THE PARENT & FAMILY ASSOCIATION The University of Memphis considers parents and family members to be valuable partners in student success. The Parent & Family Association (PFA) is a way for parents and familes to be informed and involved as partners in the education of their student. Established in 2017, the association has more than 1,000 members. Membership in the PFA provides members with a community-based connection to the University, while also serving as a vehicle for input and feedback to campus programs. memphis.edu/umparents/involvement/pfassociation.php 12 | STUDENT AFFAIRS
