Discover the Right Support for You
The science of learning tells us that academics and wellness are not mutually exclusive, but rather integral and interrelated parts of success in college. As such, we are committed to providing students at F&M a holistic system of academic and wellness support in an effort to deconstruct educational, personal, and social challenges and co-construct positive, productive, and healthy habits.
At F&M, student wellness is a top priority. We fully recognize that learning is optimal when stress is minimal.
Our academic resource programs are specifically intended to support every student's opportunity for access to & engagement in their academic pursuits. As such, we take seriously our responsibility to learn about a long history of systemic and institutional racism so that we can engage with our community in ways that promote educational access and equity.
We are held accountable by each of you to listen, learn, and act.
Our action steps:
- We commit to educating ourselves through collaborative training to better understand inequality, racism, and racial injustice as they relate to equitable opportunity in education.
- We commit to increased hiring of Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Students of Color as Peer Academic Coaches.
- We commit to increased outreach to Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Students of Color and to help reduce any stigma associated with academic support.
