Communities of Interest

What are Communities of Interest?Communities of Interest (COI) represent a network of students with similar academic interests and career goals. Learning experiences and initiatives within the COI framework will:

n promote student engagement and development

n enhance program persistence resulting in completion of a certificate or degree

n promote global citizenship and lifelong learning

COIs aim to provide structured, intentional, and meaningful experiences around academic support, social engagement, and workforce readiness. In general terms, COI activities would be:

n delivered in response to significant known and emerging barriers to student success

n supported by data and applied research

n purposefully designed for students across all campuses and not just for students who seek them out

n connected to Shark Path

n developed to help foster a sense of purpose

“We must be intentional, proactive and intrusive.

Student success does not arise by chance.”

(Tinto, 2006)

“ The findings from 20 years of research on under-

graduate education have been unequivocal: The

more actively engaged students are – with college

faculty and staff, with other students and with the

subject matter they study – the more likely they are

to learn, to stick with their studies and to attain their

academic goals.”

(McClenney, 2012)
