Proactive and Integrated Resources & Supports (PAIRS)
Sunsetted Fall 2021

Mission:
Proactive and Integrated Resources & Supports (PAIRS) will work with the campus community to integrate supports proactively along students’ educational journeys, identifying and addressing inequity and structures of oppression where we find them.
Goals:
- Assess student needs and gaps in understanding related to support services.
- Inquire into methods and opportunities for building direct relationships with students through student and academic support services.
- Assess departmental capacities & resource needs for both instructional and student support services.
- Determine opportunities for collaboration and sharing of resource with and among various grants and other resources available to the campus to ensure success and longevity of these programs.
Outcomes:
- Meet students where they are: student research related to service perceptions and gaps will be explored. Proposals for enhanced services will be developed.
- Assess departmental capacities & needs: assessments will help determine needs.
- Broad collaboration among support areas: opportunities for large-scale/innovative means for collaboration will be recommended.
