BOUNCE BACK RETENTION PROGRAM - A RESILIENCE-BASED CURRICULUM
Bounce Back Retention Program Participant Information
Bounce Back meets weekly for 50 minutes through the duration of the semester and is comprised of small groups of students on academic probation. Using a resilience-based approach, we teach various academic skills such as time management, test taking, and study skills. Working experientially, we teach how to increase resilience by strengthening the ability to bounce back from adversity.
