An Inspiring Return to Student Succes Launch

This past Tuesday we had our annual Student Success Launch with about 300 people joining us in person and online. As I reflected on the event, two themes stuck out to me from what I heard: 1) the need for collaboration and building connections, and 2) questions about how to engage in this work given the impacts of the last few years.

At this year’s Student Success Launch, I discussed how our work to promote student success has increasingly come to be organized around the “retention/persistence distinction.” These two complementary notions reside in the heart of our educational mission, and we must embrace them both.
