Abstract:
Shame. Fear. Defeat. Students on Academic Probation frequently internalize such feelings in isolation when in reality hundreds of students share this experience at some point in their undergraduate career. What if our institutions destigmatized the shame associated with Academic Probation? How can you shift your campus culture towards a growth-mindset that normalizes failure as a stepping stone towards success? Learn how UC Berkeley's Educational Opportunity Program implemented a holistic retention seminar yielding an 81% retention rate with an average term GPA increase of 1.39 points! This interactive session overviews Brene` Brown's concept of resilience from her book "Rising Strong." It will also feature a mini-documentary of alumni, staff and administrators candidly discussing their experiences on Academic Probation.
Join us as we share practical strategies to empower students towards successfully clearing Academic Probation!
