The Student Experience

Provide a holistic educational experience for students that will support their academic, professional, and personal success.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Increase meaningful student engagement on campus by exploring the growth of student space for campus events, as well as places to meet and socialize, which will promote a sense of belonging in a welcoming environment.
  • Develop and implement a comprehensive plan that focuses on student success through a holistic approach using the wellness wheel.

  • Develop a centralized, multi-faceted communication plan to inform students, families, and the community about campus programs and services by August 2023.
  • Expand efforts to prevent enrollment interruptions and reduce the time to degree completion by improving retention rates by 3%.
  • By August 2026, 50% of our undergraduate students will complete at least one internship, research experience, or other work-based learning experiences by graduation.
