The Advising First Center for Success Coaching and the Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement (CARE) are excited about collaborating on a new initiative to better s u p p o r t t h e CA R E sophomore students. The Cen t e r fo r S ucces s Coaching offers a structured program to help students improve effectiveness in and out of the classroom. In the Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement‟s efforts to contribute to the successful retention and graduation of undergraduate students, it is requiring all sophomore C A R E s t u d e n t s t o
participate in this new program component. Three Success Coaches have been assigned to CARE for this purpose. This new support service is a year-long partnership whereby students receive one -on-one per sona l coaching to assist them in continuing their successful transition into upper division and into their respective major program of study. The coaches work closely with academic advisors, full time CARE staff and other resources across campus to support the sophomore CARE students in achieving their academic and personal goals. Students who receive coaching typically reach
their goals faster, enjoy college more and, have high grade point averages. Please contact Sarah Mahler, Program Manager for the Cen t e r fo r S ucces s Coaching, at (850) 645-9289 or slmahler@admin.fsu.edu, or Angela Richardson, Director of the Center for A c a d em i c R e t e n t i o n and Enhancement at ( 8 5 0 ) 6 4 4 - 9 6 9 9 o r arichardson@admin.fsu.edu for more information about the program and its advantages and benefits to students.

As a 2006 Summer Bridge participant, she credits the SBP with setting the tone for her academic career and providing her with abundant resources. Sophia states, “Not only did it stimulate me academically, but the CARE Summer Bridge program also allowed me to network and meet different people from a variety of backgrounds.” When asked for any words of encouragement for
students pursuing medical school she states, “Always exceed your expectations and to never compare yourself to the next person. The journey will in no way be easy but once you get there, all of the hard work and dedication will be worth it. Keep yourself motivated, focused and you will do fine.” Although she is no longer a FSU student Sophia says, “I will ALWAYS be a Nole at heart……GO NOLES!” Qua‟Aisa Blackmon Graduate Assistant
Program. When asked her most memorable moment from the SBP, Dr. Jones mentioned the End of the Year Banquet when as Mrs. Richardson was acknowledging her as part of the summer faculty; the students gave a long standing ovation. She described the moment as endearing and said it really meant a lot to see how the student appreciated her. Dr. Jones‟ hope for the future of the
SBP is that the university will
continue to support value and
acknowledge all that the program

Enhancement Workshops will focus on the various building blocks that foster academic success. Topics scheduled to be covered for the Fall semester include Learning Styles, Study Skills and Test Taking Skills. These workshops will be offered once every month and are open to ALL CARE students. Additionally, in an effort to increase and sustain the math proficiency of our students, every Tuesday night the lab hosts Math Help Sessions. These sessions are geared towards those students
preparing for the CPT exam and/or have been identified as being challenged with math proficiency. Pending the success of these
workshop initiatives, the Tutorial
lab hopes to incorporate these
outreach services as a regular part
of the lab offerings.

representing Florida State University. “I cannot express how much I appreciate C.A.R.E.,” says Jamal. He feels that C.A.R.E. prepares students for life at Florida State by connecting them with key faculty and administrator resources. “It feels like a home away from home and I really like the family feel,” he says. The counselors, mentors, advisors and staff really help the students succeed and avoid issues.
Jamal will be graduating in December 2010 with his Bachelor‟s degree. His goal after graduation is to “move away from success and move towards significance.” He would like to do this by starting a non-profit organization to provide guidance for young men and women. He would also like to teach English abroad and see the world. Elisa Oliver Graduate Assistant

The most fulfilling parts of Charlie‟s work with Upward Bound is a sequence of events. These include making copies of his students‟ college acceptance letters, and watching his students walk across the stage at the East Gadsden High School graduation ceremony, as well
Two highlights of the SBP were having lunch with the president and the provost of Florida State University, Dr. Eric Barron & Dr. Lawrence Abele, and the students achieving an average FSU grade point average of 3.1 at the end of the summer. This reflects how important the leadership on campus views the program and its participants.

of the program by ob ta in ing a compet it ive GPA during the summer and returning in the fall to continue their studies and involvement on campus. Welcome Back All CARE Students! RoseMay Frazier Coordinator, Summer Bridge Program

faci l i tate presentations and

a higher education is attainable.
