A joint project with Dr. Daniel de Roulet of Irvine Valley College and Prof. David C. Pecoraro of Vanguard University. The project aims to encourage higher education to focus, first, on student caring. The Student Caring Project seeks to educate students by understanding their strengths and challenges and by then helping them to make the most of their college educations. We seek to clarify expectations about the goals of higher education for both professors and students, and we provide practical tools for faculty, students, and students’ families that will increase student success.
