Faculty Resources

Supporting Student Success and Wellbeing

As faculty, you are in an excellent position to recognize behavioral changes in students that might impact their success in your class and can indicate greater challenges to their success and wellbeing.

In partnership with Academic Affairs and Student Success, USF St. Petersburg is sponsoring a series of spotlights focused on programs and initiatives that are designed to help our students succeed in your class and thrive at USF St. Petersburg. These 30-45 minute spotlights are designed to help faculty become aware of, and make referrals to, the various support services throughout campus. 

These include, but are not limited to counseling, advising and success advocacy, support for emergency and basic needs insecurities, and disability accommodations, along with other programs that foster student success, build community and contribute to the development of the whole student.

All “Lunch and Learn” Spotlight Sessions are scheduled on Wednesdays at 12pm EST

What to expect: The sessions will start with a 15 minute overview of each service and then engage in discussion and question and answer with faculty that attend the workshop. The 15 minute informational overview will be recorded and made available to faculty unable to attend the session. However, the interactive discussion portion of the session will not be recorded.
