FOSTERING STUDENT SUCCESS Althea Counts, TRIO Programs Director, University of South Carolina This is the third newsletter in a 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 TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) programs. This report will also highlight the National Resource Center’s work with the Advising Success Network (ASN). A primary goal of the National Resource Center is to highlight potentially overlooked voices of people doing advising work that fosters student success and equity. With this in mind, the National Resource Center established an SSS Professional Learning Community (PLC) as an exchange site for framing, learning, and sharing best practices to maximize advising effectiveness within TRIO programs. The goals of the PLC included: •
Amplifying the voices of key contributors to equity in the higher education landscape
•
Sharing successes, as well as supportive solutions to challenges
An initiative of the Advising Success Network and the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience® and Students in Transition
