Here's one easy thing you can do this week to help the students you advise: 

More than three decades of research on the causes of student attrition have demonstrated that engaged students who build meaningful relationships on campus stay in school at higher rates and have a better shot at college success. 

By reminding your advisees of the countless opportunities to get involved on campus, you can help them start building those connections. 

Here are just some examples of ways students can get involved: 

• Join a club in one of their areas of interest or get involved in student government
• Connect to a peer mentor in their first year (spots still open for spring 2019; if interested e-mail peermentoring@buffalostate.edu)
• Participate in undergraduate research opportunities, like the Early Undergraduate Research Opportunity (EURO) Program
• Find a job or internship on campus using the Career Development Center's ORCA database to search openings
• Participate in service-learning opportunities (such as Bengals Dare to Care Day and Alternative Spring Break) offered through the Civic and Community Engagement Office
• Participate in athletic activities, such as recreation and intramural programming
• Attend events hosted in the residence halls or participate in the Residence Hall Association

Just one positive engagement experience might make an enormous impact during the student's time in college and beyond!
