  • Career Spring expanding engagement: increasing FGLI student…

    OVERVIEW

    Description

    Our organization provides professional development, career exploration, and resource support for firstgeneration, lowincome (FGLI) students, both those enrolled in college and those pursuing nontraditional pathways. While our platform offers free highquality tools, workshops, and opportunities, many students are either unaware of these resources or do not engage with them consistently. This limits our ability to deliver impact at scale. How might we increase the number of FGLI students using our platform and deepen their engagement with the resources we provide?

    Summary

    Students will analyze our current platform, user behaviors, and outreach strategies to develop creative, researchbacked recommendations for increasing student signups and improving ongoing engagement. The goal is to help more FGLI students discover, use, and benefit from our professional development resources.

    Parameters: what is in and out of scope? Are there things they should definitely consider and things that are not appropritate to deal with for this problem?

    In Scope:
    Understanding current user engagement patterns
    Identifying barriers to awareness, access, or motivation
    Researching best practices in student engagement, digital platforms, and community building
    Proposing new features, communication strategies, incentives, or partnerships
    Creating mockups, campaign ideas, or user journey improvements
    Conducting surveys, interviews, or focus groups with students

    Out of Scope:
    Major technical rebuilds of the platform
    Budgetheavy solutions requiring large staffing or infrastructure changes

    Suggested research topics, resources and questions: the students can come up with some of this on their own, but your ideas and input will help. Are there specific things you want the students to research or specific resources they should use?

    Suggested Research Topics:
    Engagement strategies used by other studentfocused platforms
    Behavioral motivators for firstgeneration and lowincome students
    Effective communication channels for Gen Z learners
    Incentive models (gamification, rewards, recognition)
    Communitybuilding strategies
    Ambassador programs in nonprofit organizations

    Suggested Resources:
    Case studies from nonprofits serving FGLI students
    Reports from organizations like:
    Pell Institute
    Strada Education Network
    User experience (UX) research frameworks
    Social media engagement analytics
    Interviews with current platform users and Ambassadors

    Guiding Questions:
    What prevents students from discovering or returning to the platform?
    Which features or resources do students find most/least valuable?
    What would lessen resistance to using the platform?
    How can we make the platform feel more personalized and supportive?
    What incentives or community elements would motivate consistent use?

    If a survey is involved, approximately how many people would you like surveyed and what types of people should be targeted?

    Target Sample Size: 100150 respondents
    Target Audience: FGLI recent graduates and college students across all UH colleges
    Additional: Include a few short interviews (510 students) for deeper qualitative insights.

    What information should be in the students’ final report?

    Summary of research findings (survey data, interviews, competitive analysis)
    Key insights about student needs, motivations, and barriers
    Proposed strategies to increase platform awareness and engagement
    Prioritized recommendations with rationale
    Potential impact and feasibility assessment
    Optional prototypes (marketing materials, feature mockups, user journey maps)

    What data do you want the team to give you, and to whom will they be giving this information?

    Cleaned survey results and interview summaries
    A list of key insights and themes
    A final presentation deck summarizing recommendations
    Any mockups, campaign ideas, or engagement models they create

    Presentation Format

    In Person

    Preferred mode of contact? The key contact will be the point person for student questions and to check in with the students to ensure they are on track. This person will be contacted for the final grade of the project.

  • Module 3 Discussion – Strategies & Practices

    In this weeks discussion, you will examine how policing strategies, patrol operations, and investigative practices shape public safety. Modern law enforcement agencies rely on a complex blend of deployment decisions, forensic tools, and proactive patrol methods to maintain order and reduce crime. These approaches vary widely depending on the type of unit involved, the needs of the community, and the challenges present in different environments. Each of the discussion prompts below invites you to connect real-world policing practices to our module competencies, specifically, the methods and strategies used in patrol, the operational differences between patrol and specialized units, and the role of proactive engagement in preventing crime.

    Prepare for this discussion by reviewing:

      • in Fundamentals of Policing
      • in Fundamentals of Policing
      • in Fundamentals of Policing.
      • in Fundamentals of Policing
      • in Fundamentals of Criminal Investigation

    As you develop your response, aim to demonstrate not just what officers do, but why these strategies matter for effective policing and community trust. Select ONE of the following questions for your initial response:

    1. Deployment Decisions: Imagine you’re a police supervisor responsible for allocating patrol personnel in a high-crime district. What factors would you consider when determining deployment? How do time of day, type of crime, and community concerns influence your strategy?
    2. Forensics in Criminal Investigations: How has the increasing reliance on forensic science changed the way crimes are investigated? Discuss the benefits and limitations of forensic tools in modern policing.
    3. Traffic Enforcement and Public Safety: Some argue that traffic enforcement is more about revenue generation than public safety. Do you agree or disagree? What role should traffic units play in broader public safety efforts?
    • Your original response is due by Thursday of the module at 11:59 p.m.

    Discussion Posting:

    Note: Before starting, review the discussion board grading rubric (located in the syllabus).

    You can use a conversational tone in your discussion board postings and responses, but you must reference the course readings, please (i.e., do not simply offer your opinions), summarize your interpretation of the material, and apply the information.

    You are welcome to supplement the course readings with outside sources, but the readings must remain your primary sources of information.

    Do not use long quotes. Instead, summarize the source/s in your own words and apply the information. Use examples, real or hypothetical, to show how the concept/s can be applied.

    Proofread your postings and responses-spelling, grammar, and punctuation do count—this is a writing exercise.

    Cite all of your sources in-text and in the reference page. You should have at least one cite for each post

    Your discussion postings are to be typed in a 12-point font, such as Arial, New Times Roman, etc., or a similar font. All discussion postings are considered written documents and, as such, must adhere to the rules of effective writing clarity, conciseness, coherence, and correctness. Spelling and grammar count!

    Poem and Art

    Breathes there the man

    Sir Walter Scott

    Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,

    Who never to himself hath said,

    This is my own, my native land!

    Whose heart hath neer within him burnd,

    As home his footsteps he hath turnd,

    From wandering on a foreign strand!

    If such there breathe, go, mark him well;

    For him no Minstrel raptures swell;

    High though his titles, proud his name,

    Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;

    Despite those titles, power, and pelf,

    The wretch, concentred all in self,

    Living, shall forfeit fair renown,

    And, doubly dying, shall go down

    To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,

    Unwept, unhonourd, and unsung
