Student Intervention Team

Wartburg’s Student Intervention philosophy is designed to empower students to connect as a community, support individual growth, and succeed through a holistic and collaborative approach. We aim to remove barriers while providing resources that foster individual growth and ownership of the learning process. Our strengths-based methodology encourages students to engage with academic, spiritual, and emotional networks, promoting a well-rounded foundation for success. We believe in working alongside students, ensuring they have agency in their journey. Together, we create an environment that paves the way for long-term achievement and personal fulfillment.

Intervention Team Goals

• Increase transparency with students about the student referral system and minimize stigma around intervention efforts
• Empower faculty and staff to be the first lines of intervention
• Empower students to recover after difficult setbacks academically and personally
• Provide all students access to people and resources dedicated to their success
• Increase retention of students referred for support
