As we continue to address student success, we move to the next phase of action which includes a number of advisory groups, new task groups, and action plans. This phase began in Fall 2022.
Ask Alma Advisory Group
Taking the implementation team report from Phase II, the Ask Alma Advisory Group continues this effort to identify a tool to support the Ask Alma initiative. Members of the advisory group are representatives from across campus units.
Early Alert/Outreach Advisory Group
A main takeaway from multiple reports in Phase I and Phase II was the need for a centralized and holistic early alert/outreach tool to support student success. The Early Alert/Outreach Advisory group is identifying the needs for such a tool, the supports required to maintain a tool, and what tools would work best to meet the demands on our campus.
Transfer Student Experience Task Force
The Transfer Student Experience Task Force is examining the changing landscape of the transfer student experience; including new opportunities for admission and recruitment, determining existing policies and structures that present barriers and recommending practices to support transfer student retention and inclusion in our community.
Committee for the Recruitment and Retention of Student Veterans
The Committee for the Recruitment and Retention of Student Veterans is building on the work of the 2019 Military Veterans Academic Credit Self-Study to prioritize action for the most pressing needs facing student veterans and suggest strategies for addressing those needs, suggest policy and practice changes to support student veterans, and establish structures and practices that acknowledge the importance of student veterans within the university community.
Additional Forums and Group Meetings
Throughout this phase special forums and group meetings will continue to ensure communication of the scope of the student success initiative. These include the Advisor forum, faculty meetings, college meetings, and student group meetings.
