UA Little Rock faculty and staff work together to support and prepare students to discover the world and their calling in it.
Supporting Our Students
One valuable resource for faculty and staff is the Early Alert Program, which is designed to identify and support at-risk students and to provide the necessary support to encourage persistence. This program provides faculty and staff with a means to identify at-risk students early in the semester (preferably prior to midterm), provides students with a means to refer themselves to the Care Team, refers students to college resources appropriate to their needs, and actively assists students, especially first year students, in becoming academically and socially successful.
You can also refer students directly to CHASSE’s Student Support Specialist, Mercades Parker who can offer support in the following areas:
- Academic challenges
- Emotional distress
- Family/work/life balance
- Financial hardship
- University and community resource needs
Faculty Resources
The Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost’s website provides numerous resources for faculty including:
The Academy for Teaching and Learning Excellence is another valuable resource along with the Scholarly Technology and Resources (STaR) which provides support for faculty using Blackboard to design and facilitate an e-learning course.
