Student Affairs Impact Report

2018 鈥� 2019

A Message from Teri Hall, Vice President of Student Affairs

Dear Colleagues,

It is my privilege to present to you the Impact Report for the Division of Student Affairs for the 2018-2019 Academic Year. Students have always been at the core of the work we do in Student Affairs. During the past year, the Division of Student Affairs provided numerous quality programs, services and environments for 麻豆破解版 State University students. These initiatives helped to facilitate student learning and success, as well as citizenship and involvement with the community.

The work we have done in crisis intervention, student-centered campus life programming, policy development, professional development, student mentoring, and much more, has grown and expanded significantly over the past year. However, there is more work to do. We look forward to the implementation of our division-wide strategic plan and enhancing the connections within the campus community and beyond to accomplish our goals. The student experience at 麻豆破解版 State University is constantly evolving, and my colleagues and I aim to provide a fluid space for students to develop. We will continue to stay current with national best practices for learning outcomes, adjust our own goals and expectations, and through assessment, ensure that our students are well prepared to thrive in our complex world.

I am grateful for your support and partnership as we continually strive to transform the lives of Shockers.

Assessment and Retention

Mission

Assessment and Retention in Student Affairs is committed to the retention and persistence of WSU students, aiming to empower Shockers in the process of matriculation. At first glance, holistic development and academic support are the focuses of this area; moreso, however, it is about the relationships that are developed to foster such success.

Connecting to Campus Partners and Building Community are both strengths that help us enhance the student experience and engaging students to ensure they retain and meet their educational goals. Through these core efforts, the Division promotes inclusive excellence to remove barriers, cultivate the well-being of students, and provide co-curricular learning opportunities for student engagement.

In addition, over 100 volunteers and student officials help make this tournament a tremendous success.
Outdoor Adventure Program. The first full year for this program included eight trips to a variety of different venues including snow skiing in Colorado, white water rafting in Oklahoma, Royals Baseball and a trip to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City.

Facility Highlights

Shocker Rowing鈥檚 new boathouse. Shocker Rowing is now rowing from their new home at River Vista downtown along the Arkansas River. A new 12鈥� x 242鈥� dock anchors this facility and helps improve the efficiency of the program by allowing for high volume usage. This facility includes over 7,000 sq. ft. of shell storage, men and women鈥檚 locker rooms, maintenance area and many other qualities to help Shocker Rowing continue to move toward being the top ACRA program in the nation.
Heskett Center front entrance redesigned. The remodeled area includes a new expanded welcome desk, flooring, ceiling tile, paint job and brighter lighting. The transformed entrance is now more open and gives a better overall first impression of the facility.
New outdoor futsal & basketball courts. Two tennis courts were transformed to futsal and basketball courts. The new surface is a Dobbs rubberized overlay on top of the existing asphalt tennis surface. New LED lighting was also added to the courts, allowing for year-round fun day and night.
Kouri Parcourse. On May 21, 2019, Campus Recreation dedicated the Kouri Parcourse. The new parcourse has eight fitness stations, three of which are accessible to both disabled and able-bodied individuals. It is built on a rubberized foundation. The parcourse was paid for from a donation from Dr. Sam and Jacque Kouri.
