    • Abstract:
      • During the pandemic, it was necessary to connect with students more, as they needed to feel there was a person behind the computer screen. As a result, an outreach program was implemented across some of our Math courses in an attempt to bring back disengaged students. Members of the teaching team, called “Student Support Specialists”, connect students with different resources, support their development of coping strategies, and foster deeper connections. In the aftermath of the pandemic, this necessity seems even more important than ever. 
      • In this workshop, we will share details of the program along with students’ testimonials and feedback. The outreach program will be discussed in terms of how it translates to courses with varying modalities and flexibilities, as well as how instructors can incorporate elements of outreach into their classes in ways that align with their own personal and teaching goals. In addition, we will discuss challenges posed by different course structures, pedagogical approaches, and modality types.
