The Daily Bulletin

By now, you should have received an e-mail from the Bengal Success Portal asking you to respond to the Student Progress Report. This early intervention tool enables faculty members to inform both advisers and students about signs of academic difficulty early in the term. Advisers can use this information to reach out to their students, who in turn can make positive changes while there is still time to shift course.

Thank you to the many instructors who have already responded to the Student Progress Report for spring 2019. If you have not yet responded to the e-mail reminders, you can still simply log in to easily view your class list(s) and mark whether any of your students have encountered issues. Alternatively, if you choose, you can award students “kudos” for a job well done. Students will receive e-mails with this feedback; students' advisers will receive a copy as well. If there is cause for concern, students will be alerted that they need to take action—and, by the same token, advisers can conduct proactive outreach to help these students reach their academic goals.

Thank you to our top five responders for fall 2018:
Daniel Blum, History and Social Studies Education Department
Adam DePriest, Biology Department
Ashley Martin (and her dedicated team of SI leaders), Student Retention Programs
Amy McMillan, Biology Department and Honors Program
Angela Thering, Computer Information Systems Department

The extra “nudge” you give students might make a big difference for them this term!
