Create a Climate of Openness and Respect

Some students may be intimidated by faculty.  Therefore, it is essential to create a climate of openness and respect.  This lets students know you are approachable and interested in their success.

Tips

  • Encourage students to visit with you during your office hours throughout the term.
  • Identify campus support services so students know where to go for help (e.g., counseling, the disability service office, academic support, tutoring, etc.)
