Survey Reveals Nearly All College Students Face Major Challenges in Achieving Their Goals

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — TimelyCare, higher education’s most trusted virtual health and well-being provider, is enhancing its unparalleled portfolio of wellness solutions to include Student Success Coaching to help students achieve their goals in the classroom and in life.

TimelyCare is the first company to comprehensively address the top obstacles hindering student success.

The need for success coaching is evident, as a new nationwide survey of more than 1,100 college students reveals that nearly all of them (95%) say they face significant challenges in reaching their fullest potential.

With on-demand success coaching as a virtual expansion of what colleges and universities currently offer, TimelyCare is the first company to comprehensively address the top obstacles hindering student success. Through one integrated care and coaching experience, TimelyCare has solutions to help students improve their mental health, physical health, financial wellness, academic preparedness, and career readiness.

“Three out of four students say they are more likely to remain in classes, improve their grades, and graduate with the help of TimelyCare. Given the well-understood link between mental health and student success, we asked our partners, ‘What else can we do to support student success?’ On-demand success coaching builds upon our track record of innovating to complement campus resources and open new doors to help students chart their own unique journeys towards success,” said Luke Hejl, TimelyCare CEO and co-founder.

Survey Highlights Awareness of and Opportunities to Improve Student Success
Students overwhelmingly give colleges and universities high marks for the resources dedicated to supporting student success – even though their definition of what that means varies.

Survey highlights include:

Academic performance and completion: When asked how they will measure their success in college, GPA (59%), greater knowledge / what they learned (54%), and graduating or completing their course of study (53%) topped the list.High awareness of vs. persistent barriers to support: The good news is that 85% of students are aware of the success resources their institution offers. However, the same number (85%) identified barriers that prevented them from accessing those services. The top 3 barriers included limited office hours (27%), not knowing where or how to seek support (22%) and inconvenient office locations (21%).Academic, career and financial resources are key: Among the most used student success resources are academic advising (51%), tutoring or learning assistance (35%), career development or workforce readiness (34%), financial wellness (24%) and basic needs assistance (20%).Mental health is students’ No. 1 challenge: Many challenges impact student success, including mental health (60%), financial (43%), physical health (37%), academic (36%), social / belonging (27%), career readiness (20%) and basic needs insecurity (16%). Only 5% of students say they haven’t faced any challenges.

Success Coaching Supplements Campus Resources and Expands Access
Navigating resources can be a daunting task, particularly for students who might be reluctant to seek additional help or even know such resources exist, according to 20-year student and academic affairs veteran Nicole Guerrero Trevino, Ph.D., TimelyCare’s Vice President for Student Success.

“Student Success Coaching simplifies the experience, providing learners with a seamless path to maximize resources that help them achieve their goals. Students are resilient, and with TimelyCare, they can access integrated coaching and care, ensuring they are well-prepared for their futures,” she said.

With success coaching, TimelyCare provides on-demand accountability and structured support in academic preparedness, financial wellness and career readiness – expanding the reach of existing campus services and helping students see improved outcomes on their personal goals.

Building upon the unique student success frameworks at individual colleges and universities, TimelyCare success coaches will leverage extensive knowledge about resources specific to each institution. Whether students need assistance navigating available campus support or prefer to receive help virtually, success coaches are trained to provide expert guidance on topics such as:

Study skills and strategiesTime managementGoal settingMajor, minor and certificate explorationMotivation and procrastinationBudget managementScholarship searchesCareer explorationResume and LinkedIn reviewsInterview preparationPersonal brandingProfessional communication

Current TimelyCare partners will have the option to add success coaching this spring, and it will be generally available to new customers this summer.  Success coaching is fully FERPA compliant as part of TimelyCare’s continuous commitment to student privacy and data security.

Info-Tech LIVE 2024 Day 3 Highlights: Key Insights on IT Leadership, Ethical AI, and the Future of IT

Published

on

By

Day 3 of Info-Tech LIVE 2024 delivered actionable insights on IT leadership, AI, and future IT trends, featuring thought leaders and experts from across the technology landscape.

TORONTO, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – The third and final day of Info-Tech LIVE 2024 concluded with impactful sessions designed to equip IT leaders with strategies to navigate the exponentially changing technology landscape. Day 3 delivered valuable insights on critical topics such as ethical AI, leadership, and the evolving role of the CIO.

Key Highlights From Day 3 Featured Keynotes:

1. Adaptive IT Leadership: Leading at the Pace of Exponential Change
Speaker: Carlene McCubbin, AVP of Research Development at Info-Tech Research Group

Carlene McCubbin explored the critical importance of building strong IT leadership teams capable of navigating the rapidly evolving technology landscape. She emphasized the shift from a purely technical focus to a more balanced approach that includes people leadership and business acumen. McCubbin highlighted the findings from the 2024 Info-Tech and McLean & Company surveys, which revealed a growing gap in leadership skills within IT and underscored the urgent need for leadership development and prioritization.

Key Takeaways:

There is a significant disconnect between CxO expectations and IT department capabilities. While 50% of CxOs view IT as a driver of transformation, only 5% of IT departments are currently meeting this expectation.The top challenges for IT leaders include staffing shortages, skills gaps, and difficulties in meeting business demands, which can hinder IT’s ability to deliver value and adapt to changing business needs.Despite advancements in technology, 35% of IT employees’ time is still spent on administrative tasks, a figure that has remained unchanged over the past five years. The finding indicates a persistent inefficiency that could be addressed through better use of AI and automation.Many IT employees believe that efficiency can be improved, with 37% identifying opportunities to eliminate low-value activities and 47% seeing potential for greater operational efficiency through innovative approaches.

2. AI Hype vs. Reality
Speaker: Dr. Timnit Gebru, Founder and Executive Director at the Distributed AI Research Institute

Dr. Timnit Gebru’s keynote dissected the current AI landscape and how to navigate the fine line between hype and the tangible benefits of AI technologies. She explained how AI can be misused, highlighting issues such as unauthorized data usage, copyright infringement, and machine bias. Dr. Gebru emphasized the need for critical thinking and skepticism when evaluating AI systems and stressed the importance of establishing ethical guidelines and accountability to ensure responsible AI development and deployment.

Key Takeaways:

There is a significant disconnect between the hype surrounding AI and its real-world applications, with many organizations overestimating the capabilities of current AI technologies.A critical, evidence-based approach is essential for evaluating the true capabilities and risks of AI systems, particularly in avoiding the misuse of data and ensuring compliance with copyright and ethical standards.AI systems must be developed and integrated with strict ethical guidelines and accountability frameworks to prevent biases, protect user data, and ensure responsible AI usage.

3. The New CIO: Leading IT Into the Future
Speaker: Heather Leier-Murray, Research Director at Info-Tech Research Group

Heather Leier-Murray discussed the evolving role of the CIO and the skills necessary to lead IT into the future. The session focused on the strategic shift required for CIOs to move from traditional IT management to becoming key business partners. Leier-Murray emphasized the need for modern CIOs to balance technological innovation with leadership and influence, positioning IT as a central driver of organizational success in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Key Takeaways:

The role of the CIO has transformed significantly over the past 40 years, evolving from optimizing back-office operations to becoming a leader in driving organizational value through advanced technologies. Despite these shifts, 81% of respondents to Info-Tech’s CxO-CIO Alignment Diagnostic feel their IT maturity level is only at a supporting or struggling stage, indicating a need for further evolution.While 35% of CxOs believe their IT department must achieve the highest level of maturity to transform the organization, only 2% feel confident that their IT department is capable of driving this transformation.Over 50% of a CIO’s weekly time is consumed by day-to-day management and operational tasks, leaving less than 20% for strategic initiatives and technology advancements. This misalignment must be addressed so that IT leaders can effectively guide organizations through rapid technological changes.

Looking Beyond Info-Tech LIVE 2024

Over the three days of Info-Tech LIVE 2024, attendees explored the critical intersections of technology, leadership, and innovation, gaining insights into how to navigate the future of IT. From the transformative discussions on Exponential IT and AI to in-depth sessions on modernizing IT frameworks and developing effective leadership strategies, the conference provided a comprehensive roadmap for IT leaders aiming to drive their organizations forward in an era of exponential change.

Info-Tech Research Group looks forward to announcing details for the next LIVE event, including plans to expand the conference to Australia in March 2025.
