An initiative of the Advising Success Network and the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience® and Students in Transition
OCTOBER 2022 ISSUE NO. 3
A Culture of Care at HBCUs This is the third issue in a newsletter series that will serve as a report and thematic summary of content shared in the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition’s multi-pronged engagement of HBCUs in their work with the Advising Success Network (ASN). The Center has identified HBCUs as spaces where some of the most innovative and effective work is being done to improve student success outcomes and advance equity. Yet, too often, the work at these institutions is not part of the larger dialogue about advising redesign and student success and, thus, the positive impact of their efforts has not been fully shared, celebrated, and modeled. As part of a commitment to engaging HBCUs as critical partners in ASN activities, the Center created several dedicated channels for their involvement.

One of these channels was a one-day Symposium, delivered live in October 2021 via virtual conference platform. The Symposium represented a mix of plenary content delivered by invited speakers and interactive content proposed and presented by participants. Over the course of discussions during the Symposium, a theme emerged around how participating institutions are furthering their mission by capturing a culture of care on campus.
