Question's About Viewing My Circle
We refer to a Circle of Champions as a “Circle” or your “Circle”. The Circle includes all the Champions who are supporting your academic journey. Building your Circle of Champions, means surrounding yourself with those who uplift and whom you consider a mentor. As your academic journey may branch into directions and change, so can your Circle! . You may add people to your Circle over time as key individuals come in and out of your life. Regardless, this is a group of people who will celebrate with you when you achieve important accomplishments, support you when you struggle with challenging hurdles, and help you when you are making important decisions.
Students—both first-generation and non-first-generation—often come from communities with friends and family who love them, but may lack college experience and know-how. As a result, many students receive limited guidance in navigating their academic journeys. Surrounded by people who want to help but may not know how, students can struggle to find support when applying for college, choosing courses, securing financial aid, planning for careers, and navigating the complexities of college. In addition, the under-funded condition of many public colleges means college personnel are not always able to fill these support gaps, leaving an estimated 45% of college students (and more for marginalized students) to never see an academic advisor (Flaherty, 2023).
As a result, many students navigate complicated academic journeys with limited support. This contributes to ongoing equity gaps, particularly for students from historically underserved communities. While we can celebrate increased college access for many student groups (Mora, 2022), success and completion rates remain disproportionately low for students of color and low-income students across race and ethnicity groups.
An engaged Circle of Champions has been proven to help students find greater academic success.
