    Dedicated Support Team

    Supporting student success isn't about creating an app.

    We give your student a dedicated support team from day one.

    Peers, professors, sponsors, staff, mentors and alumni - helping YOUR student rise to the challenges of their edcuational journey.

    First Year Navigation Team
    Faculty mentors and peer facilitators in your first year orientation courses will help you navigate your first year experiences at Newman and assist you in developing your customized education plan.

    GPS (Guide to Personal Success) Team

    Your GPS team will help you identify leadership experiences and career internship/shadowing opportunities, provide feedback on the professional portfolio throughout your NU experience, and be a resource for you as you consider your future career goals.

    Your GPS team includes:

    • Leadership sponsor – A faculty or staff member selected by you based on your leadership interests (e.g., club sponsor, athletic coach, academic advisor, NU employer)
    • Community mentor – An alumni mentor, current boss, or family friend selected by you who will help guide you in your career interests
    • Academic advisor will meet with you regularly to ensure that your education plan continues to meet your education and career goals

    First, I would say that our staff are here because we care. We care about the mission of the institution. But more importantly, our number one stakeholders, are students. And we do that by engaging with them, getting to know them outside the four walls of the classroom. Each of our students have stories. And we know that it's really important for us to get to know their stories so that we can better understand how to serve them efficiently and effectively.

    Newman is working really hard to help all of our students succeed. From the first day they step on campus, Newman is putting a lot of resources into building a support team around all of our students, so that they can find success through their time here at Newman, your time in college, but also after that. We call it the GPS, part of our navigator program, that's the guide to personal success. And that involves some classes that that students will take, but also just mentors, connection with alumni and people who are working in the fields that they want to work in their desired careers. So they have those connections, they're being mentored, they know how to go for interviews, and set up resumes and all those things as well.

    So we believe and connecting the community with the campus. Newman University has a very rich history of being in the Wichita community and we want to continue to grow that relationship and continue to utilize that relationship. Giving them that applied learning so that way they can take that back with them and utilize their education that we provide them here at Newman University to truly transform society.
