The Cy GROW Program:

  • Assists student employees in making connections between what they learn through their work experience and how it connects to the skills that employers are seeking, resulting in career ready students.
  • Guides students through reframing their views of their on-campus employment through intentional conversations about transferable skills with their supervisors.
  • Supports students success by actively assessing the learning of student employees.

 

  • What is Cy Grow

    GROW (or guided reflections on Work) is a nationally recognized model that allows for brief, structured conversations between student staff and supervisors about the connections between work and academics.

    GROW was created by the University of Iowa and more than 150 schools use the model on their campuses.

    Learn About The Model

  • How does Cy Grow Work?

    The Cy GROW model provides four questions that supervisors ask their student staff to answer.

    Conversations can be in an individual or group setting and center around a student’s competency development.
