Parents' Night Out (Dr. Lisa Steffensen). $4,650. The project will be a pilot program aimed at increasing the retention, success, and engagement of parenting students. The program will include a series of Parents’ Night Out events designed to increase a sense of belonging and connect students to campus resources to aid in their academic success.
The Coffee Lab (Dr. Katie Wibking). $5,000. A local campus coffee shop is often a quintessential part of the college experience – a place not just for coffee, but for studying, socializing, and fostering community. The Oak Ridge branch campus currently lacks such a space. To address this gap, we propose “The Coffee Lab,” an initiative to expand food service at Merwin’s Dogs to include specialty coffee beverages by purchasing a commercial-grade double espresso machine.
Pediatric Occupational Therapy Gym (Dr. Cindy Ayo). $2,400. The purpose of the project is to enhance the OTA class learning environment by creating a simulated pediatric OT gym/room as seen during clinical. The OT gym/room would act as an active learning environment by facilitating student engagement in hands-on learning.
Roane State Pied Pipers (Courtney Minton). $3,600. The Pied Pipers is a theatre outreach initiative designed to bring live performances and art education to local, underserved communities. The group will develop and perform on tour age-appropriate shows at schools and community centers.
Unlocking Potential: The Power of General Education to Shape Student Success (Dr. Diane Raines). $3,000. This project will address the lack of knowledge students have concerning the General Education program and the relevance of General Education courses to their future success in subsequent courses and their chosen career fields. Goals include increasing student awareness and perception of the General Education program.
