Student Success
Student Success is here to ensure all students have access to the people, resources, and information they need to succeed as they progress toward graduation. This includes leveraging data and evidence-based practice to promote student success priorities at central and local levels, guide strategic interventions through campus-partner engagement, and deliver focused, innovative programming for students and campus partners. Student Success Specialists provide one-on-one meetings and proactive outreach with students to help overcome challenges they may encounter on their educational journey.
