"This is our largest cohort to date and I am excited to see the continued enthusiasm for this program," said Amy Goodburn, senior associate vice chancellor and dean of undergraduate education. "We'll be focused on strategies for retention, experiential learning, academic advocacy, case management and addressing equity gaps in degree completion."

The fellows will meet each month to review research literature on factors that impact student success, study’s institutional data, and discuss university initiatives surrounding student success. They will also interact with directors of academic support and engagement units and former fellows who have facilitated student success initiatives in their departments and colleges.
