Health Sciences Retention Coordinator

Luis Garza, Health Sciences Retention Coordinator

My role as the Retention Coordinator is to assist any student referred to me in persisting in their program, focusing on completion and graduation. The goal is to work collaboratively to explore potential solutions, search out resources, and create an action plan.

Challenges to continuing in your program can come from different and unexpected sources and directions, such as:

Academic

• Learning Effective Study Strategies
• Test Taking Strategies
• Time Management Strategies
• Understanding Test Anxiety
• Technology Support
• Instructor/Student Concerns

Financial

• Exploring potential resources
• Reviewing Financial Aid status
• Exploring Scholarship Opportunities
• Community Resources

Personal

• Child Care
• Family Related Issues
• Mental Health Counseling
• Disabilities and Referrals to SAS (Student Accessibility Office)

Should you be interested in meeting with me, please fill out the Student Referral Form that’s located on this page.

All information discussed is confidential and will not be shared unless approved by you.
