Caring Campus: Caring Campus

The TCC Caring Campus team identified four faculty practices that positively impact student retention and persistence. These include:

1. Creating an environment of empathy and compassion
2. Connecting with students and making ourselves accessible
3. Providing our students with clear and complete expectations
4. Assigning graded work early in the course and frequently throughout the course, while providing students with relevant and supportive feedback

Students go where they feel welcome and stay where they feel cared for.

The idea of a Caring Campus is supported by years of research documenting that students who feel connected to their college are more likely to finish their courses, continue from one semester to the next, and reach their educational goals.

We aim to create a welcoming atmosphere for our students at TCC. It is crucial to genuinely connect with them in a caring manner, acknowledging the diversity of their backgrounds. 

As a faculty, our objective is to enhance our commitment to building strong connections with students. We strive to establish an environment that embodies a 'caring campus.'

We seek to empower our faculty with the necessary tools to ensure every student feels a sense of belonging at TCC.
