Learning Beyond the Classroom

 • Purpose of project was to develop a co-curricular program that would increase
 Newberry College's freshman retention rate.

 • This project would connect the offices of Academic and Student Affairs by building
 a collaborative programming relationship.

 • Project Goals:
      1. Increase opportunities for student invovlement through programs, activities
      and student organizations.
      2. Provide a blueprint for the development of a 5 year strategic plan for the
      Office of Student Affairs that focuses on enhancing the student experience.
      3. Implement a plan to engage new students, specifically freshman, into the
      campus life in order to increase the freshman retention rate from freshman to
      sophomore year.
Office of Student Affairs
• Encourage student life and engagement through a variety of programs, services and
departments focused on student learning and development.

• Support students who may experience personal or academic issues at Newberry
College by serving as their advoate or guiding them to the approopriate person and/or
office.

Campus Environment
Administrative Transitions
• The president's future left uncertainty about the college's strategic plan.
• Several critical administrative positions remain open which stalls the process to begin and/
or enhance new programs and activities.

Student Body
• Approximately 80% of our student body is from South Carolina
• Current freshman retention rate is 64% with a 6-year graduation rate of 34%
• Students dissatisfied with lack of college-related activities available in the city
• No emphasis on student engagement and integrating new students into campus life.

  •Focused & Strategic
      • Time and task management skills were tested throughout the project

  • Significance
       • Team member - not a leader
       • Building relationships



         The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in
          moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of
                       challenge and controversy.
                       Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Future of the Project


“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that
  some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear
beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to
     change, taking the moment and making the best of it,
         without knowing what's going to happen next."
                          Gilda Radner
