Caring Campus

What is Caring Campus?

Caring Campus is a proven, evidence-based method of improving student retention, success, and completion by building personal connections between students and staff. The Caring Campus team's mission is train all Butte College Classified Professionals in the 5 identified behavioral commitments which have the most impact on improving student connection and success.

The Institute for Evidence-Based Change (IEBC) created Caring Campus based on research that shows students who feel more connected to their college are more likely to persist through adversity, stay enrolled from semester to semester, and complete their academic goals.

The California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (CCCCO) embraced the power of Caring Campus to support Guided Pathways statewide and the Vision for Success with funding for IEBC's Caring Campus work with 18 colleges in 2020 and the number just keeps growing.

For 2021-2023, the CCCCO has expanded its IEBC Caring Campus support with funding for an additional 30 colleges, including Butte College. The new funding will empower almost two-thirds of all California community colleges to be Caring Campuses by 2025. The objective of IEBC's Caring Campus program is to increase student retention and success in community colleges by creating and cultivating caring environments through the intentional inclusion of all staff in student success efforts. - Institute for Evidence-Based Change
