The transition from high school to college is often one of the most challenging times in a student\u2019s life. Leaving the structured, predictable world of K-12, where most decisions are made for students, and embarking on an intellectual journey where the paths are varied and the decisions are theirs, can be overwhelming. Transylvania\u2019s student support services act as beacons, illuminating available options and providing navigation to Pioneers when the path gets rocky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Academic Center for Excellence<\/a>, or ACE, is probably the best-known form of student support at Transy. Composed of a testing center, tutoring<\/a> and Embedded Learning Forums<\/a> (ELF), the ACE is housed in the basement of the library, where it also shares space with the Writing Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director of the ACE Laura Scroggins believes that the center\u2019s location is one of its strengths. \u201cThe idea is to have a one-stop shop for our students where they can come to get academic support,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students can take advantage of library services, such as research assistance and access to Special Collections, while visiting the ACE. The space was designed to promote intellectual collaboration, featuring modular furniture, whiteboards and shared monitors. There are also eight smaller study rooms that can be used for one-on-one tutoring appointments or small-group meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ACE is a great space \u2014 you can work in the common area and then, if you have questions, you can go into tutoring,\u201d Scroggins explained, adding that students who find that they need help beyond tutoring can easily transition to ELF, which offers specialized support to help students master course content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTypically, in high school, we understand tutoring as something that you do when you\u2019re struggling in a class, but tutoring is really something that you do to stay on top of your work,\u201d she added, saying that her unofficial motto for tutoring is \u201ccome early, come often.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While tutoring services have always been well utilized, Scroggins, who has worked in the ACE for five years, saw a recent boom during the 2022-23 academic year \u2014 the pilot year for Embedded Learning Forums. \u201cWe surpassed 1,000 visits for the first time,\u201d she said, noting that the center recorded more than 1,500 visits between tutoring and ELF sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some courses have significant utilization rates of both tutoring and ELF, such as Chemistry, which Scroggins cites as the course with the highest rate of attendance for both services. However, some courses lend themselves better to one of the two models, such as Anatomy and Physiology, which was just added to the Embedded Learning Forum rotation this fall. \u201cWe had not seen growth when we offered tutoring, but ELF has already had high attendance in just the first two weeks of the semester,\u201d Scroggins said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A successful Embedded Learning Forum is dependent in large part on finding a student fellow who can work well with the course\u2019s professor and has the ability to communicate and plan effectively for the students who attend the forum sessions. \u201cELF requires additional planning and structuring,\u201d Scroggins said. \u201cIt is a relatively new program, so I do hope to see it continue to grow and expand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scroggins now oversees a growing team of support specialists that includes Lindsay King, ACE administrative assistant; Angie Morton ’06, student accessibilities services coach; and Jillian Shaw \u201923, ACE evening supervisor. Along with working directly with students in pre-fall programs such as Jumpstart and First Year Engagements, the ACE team tries to advertise their services to all Pioneers \u2014 \u201cwe emphasize that this is something that successful students do to stay successful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the services ACE currently offers, Scroggins hopes to bring student accessibility services under the ACE\u2019s auspices in the near future. \u201cWith student accessibility services, we\u2019re working with an ever-growing population of students,\u201d she said. \u201cWe hope to continue to meet their needs by expanding the testing center and expanding our ability to offer individual coaching.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another campus department currently serving students through individual coaching is Student Life, where Jessie Rowe is embedded as a student success coach. Rowe, who began working at Transy in 2023, sees her role as a connector. \u201cI\u2019m here to be a facilitator to connect students to resources,\u201d she said, adding that sometimes that means being a safe person to whom students can vent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rowe, who recently implemented the university\u2019s grant-funded Jumpstart program<\/a>, previously worked in higher education admissions, where her experience working with nontraditional students prepared her for this new role. \u201cI liked getting creative to work to find solutions to their problems,\u201d she said. Her current role as a student success coach allows her to use those creative problem solving skills to connect with students who might be struggling yet still flying under the radar.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While any student can form a connection with Rowe, she primarily serves as an interdepartmental liaison, working with colleagues across campus to make sure that no student falls through the cracks. \u201cA variety of departments refer students to me, whether I\u2019m asking for a list of students who are struggling in class or students who are potentially withdrawing,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rowe also serves as a member of the campus CARE team<\/a> and pays special attention to populations that might be historically overlooked \u2014 such as commuter students and sophomores \u2014 in addition to continuing to work with the Jumpstart students. However, she notes that any student can benefit from student success coaching \u2014 as long as they know it exists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To that end, Rowe has been working to familiarize students with the concept of success coaching. \u201cAt a smaller school, I think it\u2019s important to connect with your people,\u201d she said, noting that students can talk with her about their academics or about anything else that\u2019s on their mind. \u201cI\u2019m very happy that students are starting to pop in and just talk about their day.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a conduit between departments, Rowe wants students to know that, if she can\u2019t find a solution for their particular problem, she will make sure that they are connected with someone who can. \u201cI\u2019ve learned that we all really work together,\u201d she said. \u201cThe more people that can connect with students, the better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rowe hopes to be able to expand her services to student organizations as well as individual students in the future. \u201cThere\u2019s a big team of support here for them,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are all here to watch them succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
