    The original GROW (Guided Reflection on Work) program developed at the University of Iowa has served as a valuable model for supporting student employees nationwide. However, to better align with the unique needs of student employees at East Carolina University’s Academic Library Services (ALS), we are redesigning the GROW program to adopt a holistic approach that supports the whole person, encompassing mental and physical health while emphasizing career readiness. By addressing these aspects, we expect to see increased engagement and job satisfaction among our student employees. Our objective is to create a comprehensive program that not only prepares student employees for their future careers but also ensures their well-being during their tenure at the library. The new GROW program will integrate resources and services from various university departments, including Career Services, Financial Wellness, and the Counseling Center. This new program is currently in its initial stages and will be gradually implemented this fall semester, with thorough evaluation and assessment to determine the next steps.
