SUMMARY:Addressing Hidden Barriers Through Just-in-Time Student Support
LOCATION:102B Andesite
DESCRIPTION:50-minute Workshop\n\nPresenters: Enrique Ramirez-Homs\, Lectu
 rer\, Developmental Math\n\nThis session helps faculty\, advisors\, stude
 nt-success professionals\, support staff\, and campus leaders look beyond
  the surface of common student behaviors and experiences\, such as late o
 r missed work\, inconsistent engagement\, avoidance of support\, difficul
 ty starting tasks\, emotional shutdown\, or limited help-seeking. These p
 atterns are often interpreted as lack of motivation or commitment\, but t
 hey may signal hidden barriers such as time scarcity\, basic-needs stress
 \, fragile academic belonging\, executive function challenges\, or uncert
 ainty of support needs or access.\n\nThe session builds from work develop
 ed at UTEP in developmental\, gateway\, and student-success contexts\, in
 cluding the open-access borderland realities of students who may be first
 -generation\, working\, commuting\, non-traditional\, or navigating compl
 ex educational transitions.\n\nParticipants will use a practical framewor
 k: Signal → Possible Barrier → Support Response → Referral or Follow-Up. 
 The opportunity addressed is simple but urgent: helping campus profession
 als respond earlier and more intentionally when students show signs of di
 sconnection. Rather than focusing solely on academic performance\, the fr
 amework supports a holistic view of student success and helps participant
 s identify practical actions within their own roles. The goal is to creat
 e timely\, humane\, and sustainable support pathways that improve student
  persistence\,\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/7a950281-b5da-4eab-b51a-adc
