Student Success Initiative (SSI) Update
Dear Faculty, Staff and Students, As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the university is providing world-class education and facilitating a sense of belonging, the Student Success Initiative has continued work to better understand the factors that lead to undergraduate student success and better student experiences. We are excited to share with you some key updates on the SSI’s work this year and plans for the future. The Inaugural Student Success Initiative Symposium engaged over 200 faculty, staff, and students in February, 2022 in thinking critically about undergraduate success, ways to bolster retention and graduation rates, close equity gaps, and enhance the Illinois experience. Building on the discussion at the Symposium, the SSI has made strides in key areas impacting the student experience: Student Mental Health
Student Learning Experience
Policies Impacting Students
Our focus moving forward includes plans to better understand and improve the first-year student experience and the transfer student experience, increasing access to the institution for under-represented students, and professional development for faculty to ensure excellent student experiences and outcomes regardless of where a student is located. Student success takes all of us. If you're interested in engaging with the Student Success Initiative, please share your information. We look forward to continued collaboration around the enhancement of undergraduate student success. Sincerely, Danita M. Brown Young Andreas Cangellaris Sean Garrick |
