Co-chaired by Bennie Lambert, along with North Harris representatives Leslie La Pres and Cece Sutphen, this task force/strategy area has many Achieving the Dream initiatives scheduled for North Harris this spring. |

| The Math/Engineering/Natural Sciences Advising Initiative, FACTS—Faculty Advising Connecting and Training Students—is an advising initiative that embodies Achieving the Dream goals. In this program, full-time MENS faculty advise their students, many of whom are first generation students who have had limited access to career advising before attending college. |

| This spring, North Harris has implemented an expanded version of the early alert program in targeted MATH 0308 classes. Citing issues beyond poor attendance, this early intervention also addresses low test scores, incomplete assignments and non-academic distractions, such as transportation issues, job schedule, and personal or family health problems. |

| The SEA Center will also house the Success Coach Program, which addresses the needs of students enrolled in targeted courses. The success coaches are instructors or staff members who work with students and provide mentoring, coaching, and referrals to additional student support services. Coaches are responsible for a designated number of hours with students and the instructor inside and outside the targeted class. SEA Center Director, Michael McFarland, will coordinate the coach activities. |

A Student Services Taskforce has been established to review current practices at LSC-North Harris with the charge to recommend a model of services that ensures the success of all students and meets the goals of Achieve the Dream and other student success initiatives. A cross section of faculty, staff, and administration are working together to achieve this goal. Severo Balason, Dean for Student Development, and Vicki Stanfield, Dean for College Connections, are co-chairing the effort. |
