Student Success Priorities

Community

Fellowship or association with others, based on sharing common experiences, emotional connection and fulfillment of needs.

Development

The evolvement towards an increased awareness of one's abilities, an increase in the ability to take responsibility for one's own experiences. Engage in one's surrounding community and emerge as students who are better prepared academically and who persist to graduation while also becoming citizens who think openly and globally.

Engagement

Provide opportunities for students to connect, learn, and develop through peer interaction, service-learning, community experiences, and enhance their sense of identity.

Wellness

Proactively creating a culture of health and wellness focused on the dimensions of intellectual, emotional, social, financial, and physical wellness to support academic, personal, and professional success for students.
