Community Contributions to Academic Success in Residential Communities

There are many initiatives implemented by institutions of higher education to promote the academic success of their students. Utilizing the community within the residence halls is a way to connect university resources to students and create a support system that carries one through the rigor of collegiate courses. The goal of this project was to establish the importance of community in developing successful students and how it promotes academic thriving. The conducted analysis was parameterized by the circumplex family model. After the analysis, I proposed a universal plan to implement within the hall to achieve a community that is most likely to promote academic success by focusing on academic endeavors and a supportive community. Although the generic plan could be met with limitations, the incorporation of this plan promotes academic success for the students in the community.
