LAUNCH Student Success is the premiere solution to increase student success, persistence, retention and graduation rates. We provide professional development and coaching, student curriculum, and a mobile student-success app to help increase student grit, persistence, and retention. When professionals and students are aware of their current personal and professional Habits, Attitudes, Beliefs and Expectations (HABE’s), along with their ability to positively make changes to these HABE’s, they become more effective than they ever thought possible. It is important to understand the foundation of all human action is human thought and our thought process forms the foundation on which we build every facet of our lives. It is essential to understand how our minds work – to examine the HABE’s that may stand in the way of releasing our vast inner potential and leading fulfilling and purposeful lives. We have partnered with an advisory team of higher education professionals from around the country to create the ultimate in student success programs and curriculum.
Why Do We Need LAUNCH Student Success?College access initiatives have helped to increase the number of students enrolling in higher education by record numbers but the question still remains, “How do we help these students successfully graduate?” Research shows that getting students off to a good start or a successful “LAUNCH” at the beginning of the academic term is critical to a student’s long-term success. Institutions, students, and families are all looking for answers on how to increase student success, so why not start at the root cause? Our starting premise is that students possess the intellect and desire to be successful in college, but often lack the skill set and processes necessary to be successful in this new chapter of life. So we have decided to provide them with both; skills and process.
Who is LAUNCH Student Success For?The LAUNCH Student Success team works directly with higher education professionals (Leadership, Faculty, Staff) and students to identify (personal, departmental, divisional & institutional) root causes to behavior and decision-making.
We use a structured process which is designed to build awareness of how our minds work, and how we can control the way we think, ultimately to achieve success in any desired part of our lives. Based on decades of research in the fields of cognitive psychology, social learning theory, and achievement, the education presented reflects the qualities and characteristics of high-performance individuals and organizations. This program teaches the effective thinking skills that apply to the college experience and beyond into real life.
How Does It Work?
LAUNCH Student Success is delivered through the LAUNCH Student Success Curriculum, with 26-units helping to create a foundational “mindset & skillset” to address both behavior and decision-making for higher ed professional and students. The concepts and education are accessed through an interactive textbook (physical/e-book, CANVAS course). Each stand-alone unit is accompanied by a video burst, activities, reflective questions, and facilitator notes. A mobile student-success app is also available to further increase student engagement. Flexibility, Resiliency, Accountability, Creativity, Leadership, Self-Advocacy, and Time Management are just a few of the foundational concepts demonstrated by past participants.
