Driven by an intensified focus on increasing educational value and measurable outcomes, today’s approach to student success involves promoting academic rigor while ensuring students feel a sense of support across their institution. In response, colleges and universities have launched new efforts to emphasize holistic student success, relationship-rich education, evidence-informed pedagogy, involvement in high-impact practices, and intentional exploration of career and life purpose, along with improved resources for basic needs and overall support. This keynote will introduce tested approaches to student success, encourage the use of data to assess and improve, and invite greater consideration about how institutional cultures can better foster student success.
