In this episode of Y Health, Dave Waddell shares how experiential learning, faculty connection, and mentorship in higher education are transforming the student experience at BYU and beyond. We explore why the second year of college is statistically the most likely time students drop out—and what universities can do to better support at-risk college students during that critical period. Dave discusses BYU's Second Year Success Program, a research-informed student success initiative that helps students clarify their course of study, build confidence, and develop a clear vision for their future. Through peer mentor guides, meaningful faculty relationships, and intentional outreach, the program is already showing promising results in GPA improvement, reduced course withdrawals, and increased student belonging. We also dive into new student orientation, loneliness in college, and why faculty connection—championed in recent university leadership initiatives—may be one of the most powerful college retention strategies available. Drawing on John Dewey's theory of experiential education, Dave explains why students don't just learn from experience—they learn through directed reflection. From study abroad programs to mentored research and significant learning experiences, reflection turns good experiences into transformational growth. If you care about student engagement strategies, mentorship, experiential learning, or helping college students feel seen, supported, and spiritually grounded, this episode offers practical insights and inspiring takeaways for educators, administrators, parents, and students alike. Recorded, Edited & Produced by Averee Bates, Christy Gonzalez, Harper Xinyu Zhang, Madison McArthur, Kailey Hopkins, and Tanya Gale
