Marshall College Re/Connections

Students participating in Re/Connections will work with Marshall's Student Care and Accountability Specialist, and a dedicated Marshall Academic Advisor, to develop their personal plan for academic success.

By participating in the program, students are required to: 

• Attend a Re/Connections Orientation Meeting with program facilitators
• Meet with Marshall Advising - once before the start of the quarter, and two times during their quarter(s) of participation
• Meet with Marshall's Student Care and Accountability Specialist -  once before the start of the quarter, and two times during their quarter(s) of participation
• Utilize documents and resource referrals to support your academic success and personal well-being

Through participating in the program, students can expect to: 

• Participate in re-entry circles: At the Re/Connections Orientation, you'll engage in a re-entry circle utilizing restorative practices (RP) to rebuild community bonds after your absence. RP emphasizes open dialogue, mutual respect, and understanding, creating a supportive environment where everyone is heard and valued. By sharing experiences with peers who have faced similar challenges, you'll strengthen relationships and build a supportive network to enhance your academic journey.
• Engage with support: You will work with a staff member to  plan individualized support to ensure that you are aware of important academic deadlines and are able to identify the support you need towards your academic and personal wellbeing goals
• Self-Sufficiency: As you meet with the recommended resources, you will practice skills to develop an academic plan and strategies to help you stay in good academic standing
• Network: You will gain a strong network of support (even after you are done with the program) that you can access whenever you need help and feel supported on your journey towards academic success
