overview

Understanding the unique needs and circumstances of the region it serves, UNC Pembroke is committed to the development and support of its faculty in order to assist UNCP students to excel academically. Through the assistance of a Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions Grant, the University has established this project to increase its student retention and graduation rates.  

This project has two goals:

1. increase institutional capacity to serve students by:
• (a) improving advising through hiring and training professional and faculty area advisors,
• (b) strengthening academic support by expanding tutoring services, and
• (c) enhancing connectivity by fostering students’ identity, autonomy, and competence, especially for second-year students who have specific academic/developmental risk factors; and
2. increase the number of full-time faculty who complete or pursue a terminal degree by providing course releases, non-salary financial support, and symposia on research topics.
