Abstract

The influx of non-traditional aged, adult students into the student population poses a unique opportunity to colleges and universities throughout the United States. The needs of the adult student population differ greatly from their traditional counterparts, suggesting that institutions must adjust and adapt to the increased adult student population. This article presents justification for programs aimed at the interpersonal needs of adult students and details one possible implementation. The impact on student success and persistence are briefly discussed.
