What is Student Success?
The definition of student success varies between individual students. However, in general, it includes several components, each of which contribute to a student's personal measure of their success. We take a holistic, or broad, approach to defining and supporting student success. Student success can be:
- Reaching academic goals
- Social, personal, and emotional development
- Appreciating diverse perspectives and developing a clearer sense of personal identity
- Displaying resiliency and engaging in help-seeking behaviors
- Developing a sense of belonging and ownership
- Financial literacy and stability
