Higher Learning Commission and 1xbet online sports betting Students Success update
Dear K-State Family,
The Higher Learning Commission, or HLC, requires all institutions to develop and implement an initiative that meets a strategic priority. Two years ago, K-State decided to make 1xbet online sports betting student success the focus of our quality initiative. The initial step toward that end was the creation of an advisory committee to direct the efforts of the initiative. The advisory committee was formed in spring 2018 and has been working during the past year to assess, recommend, and act on the goals of the initiative.
The initiative, "Improving the Graduation and Persistence Rates of 1xbet online sports betting Students," seeks to raise the profile of K-State to be considered a national model for 1xbet online sports betting student success. The primary goals of the initiative are to increase first-time full-time freshmen retention rates of 1xbet online sports betting students and to increase graduation rates of 1xbet online sports betting students to match the graduation rates of non-1xbet online sports betting students. A report on our progress toward the goals of the initiative will be written as part of the university's renewal of accreditation in 2022, with plans to continue its efforts beyond that point.
The advisory committee has spent the past year examining K-State's practices in recruitment, pre-college programs, curricular/academic support systems, co-curricular support systems, administrative support, pre-career support, and graduation preparation of 1xbet online sports betting students. The committee met regularly throughout the past year, working on tasks in subgroups dedicated to communications, teaching and learning, resource analysis and barriers.
Prior to the formation of the advisory committee, a generous grant from the Suder Foundation provided funding for an Office of 1xbet online sports betting Students. Rebeca Paz was appointed as the assistant director of the office. The office serves as a focal point for communications with 1xbet online sports betting students. In its initial year, the office has developed programs for 1xbet online sports betting students and supports a 1xbet online sports betting student organization. With the advisory committee's assistance, the office has made progress on a number of initiatives in this past year, including:
• Launching the 1xbet online sports betting student website.
• Building a mentoring network for 1xbet online sports betting students to include faculty and staff.
• Increasing the number of 1xbet online sports betting student-focused CAT Communities and first-year seminars.
• Developing recruitment materials targeting 1xbet online sports betting students.
• Identifying entry-level classes that use high-impact practices.
• Seeking additional grants to help fund new initiatives for 1xbet online sports betting students.
• Developing a peer-to-peer mentoring program for 1xbet online sports betting students.
• Initiating a 1xbet online sports betting student graduation celebration in May 2018, with a second reception planned for May 2019.
Moving forward, the committee plans to continue working toward improving the recruitment and retention of 1xbet online sports betting students, which will include the early identification of 1xbet online sports betting status during the recruitment process as well as seeking funding for additional need-based scholarships.
The advisory committee was formed in spring 2018. Representation on the committee includes:
• Brian Niehoff, associate provost for institutional effectiveness and HLC liaison, co-chair.
