Led by the Assistant Provost for Student Success. This team will include individuals from key partners for student success and will convene in Fall 2025.
Key Focus Area for Team: Every student belongs, persists, and succeeds beyond graduation
- Maintain the core elements of belonging, retention and persistence
- Add the crucial career/future preparation dimension as a key benchmark
- Keep students at the center
- Recommend strategic stopping and actions
- Acknowledge that student success extends prior to and beyond their time at FHSU
- Connect current student experience with future outcomes
The collaborative team will assist in driving the message that student success isn't just about getting to graduation - it's about preparing students for meaningful careers and lives after they leave the University.
