Supporting Student Success and Wellbeing

As faculty, you play a pivotal role in recognizing behavioral changes in your students that could impact their academic success and overall well-being. Being attuned to these shifts allows you to offer timely support, connecting students with the appropriate resources to help them thrive both academically and personally.

This resource page provides you with access to a variety of on-demand videos focusing on campus programs and initiatives designed to assist students in navigating challenges and succeeding in your class. These resources are available at your convenience, so you can refer to them whenever the need arises throughout the semester. Whether a student is dealing with academic difficulties, mental health concerns, or personal challenges, these initiatives can offer valuable support.

Feel free to reach out to campus resources directly whenever you need additional support or if you have questions about how to best assist a student. Together, we can ensure that every student in your class has the opportunity to succeed and thrive at USF St. Petersburg.
