The Student Success Team in the Office of the Provost is excited to offer various services internally across the University and externally to institutions who are interested in learning about our work, engaging student, faculty, staff, and/or administrative audiences.
We can speak at events, present sessions and workshops, provide training in best practices for collaborative and holistic advising, mentoring, student success practice and theory. We are also available to participate in events, with Student Success Team representatives (e.g., tabling at fairs, classroom visits, informational talks).
