Close the Gap Foundation

AUGUST 4, 2021

Close the Gap’s Social Impact Fellowship is a three-month summer program for low-income 11th and 12th graders to find mentors, grow their confidence, and give back. Students grow through structured mentorship, project-based learning, and social impact scholarships. In addition to the everyday curriculum of our program, we work with guest speakers who bring their professional skills and personal stories into workshops for the students.

Supporting Student Success

AUGUST 3, 2021

The Supporting Student Success research team began this blog 10 years ago!! This milestone provides a great opportunity to reflect on what the team and the research project has achieved but also to look forward to what this blog could do. I have long thought that this blog could be a place where student affairs and services practitioners globally share the tremendous work they do to support students in realizing their academic and personal goals.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
