Abstract

In this final 2021 issue of The UAGC Chronicle we reflect on the importance of our work, acknowledge the potential challenges of this time of year, and celebrate our successes.

UAGC faculty and staff have a critical mission to uphold a culture of student care that supports our non-traditional student body toward academic success. This issue elaborates the diverse life stressors that our students experience that often create obstacles in their educational paths and the cross-departmental institutional initiatives – rooted in compassion for our students and innovation of how we help them persist in their studies despite external stressors. These initiatives have motivated our work in 2021 and will continue to drive it in 2022. Each of us can take a supportive action that could change the course of a student’s academic experience.

Many of us face the same kinds of stressors as our students, especially during the holiday season. As an institution, we have support in place for instructors and students alike. We hope you find rest and peace during this time of the year.

The UAGC Chronicle team offers gratitude for your support in 2021. The contributions from across all departments demonstrate a high level of engagement and dedication to The UAGC Chronicle mission. As a result, we continue to achieve increased readership with each issue. Please share The UAGC Chronicle with your network.

Happy holidays!
