FALCONS Connect

Felician Advising Learning Communication On-boarding Navigating Supporting

FALCONS Connect promotes the academic, social, and emotional well-being of Hispanic students through the expansion of Summer Bridge courses to ensure college preparedness, strengthens the GRIT (Goals, Resiliency, Integrity, and Tenacity) Program for students on academic probation, and enhances mentoring through a peer-lead team model. The Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program (DHSI) funds support these new and existing services as well as the creation of student services hubs called FALCONS Commons on both campuses in Lodi and Rutherford. In this way, the award ensures that Felician students realize their goals and reach degree completion. Hispanic student organizations, and faculty and staff training that allows for a better understanding of student life experiences, are also available.
