Student Connections Program

The Student Connections Program offers a holistic approach to student development through Academic Coach Advocacy, Student Connectors Peer Mentors, facilitated workshops, educational method development, and student activities.

The mission of the Student Connections Program is to increase the persistence, retention, and graduation rates of low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities, and facilitate their transition from one level of postsecondary education to the next.

Through a three-tiered approach to student excellence, the Northwest Indian College Student Connections Program seeks to improve student retention, success, and graduation through holistic advising, academic success training, and writing mentorship. With service through the NWIC extended campuses, we work with students, staff, faculty – and most importantly with the community – to identify learning strategies based on place and culture, while also serving to prepare students to identify their own version of success.
