Strategies CSUB is Pursuing in Developing a Sustainable Graduation Initiative for Student Success
Question# 1 From a faculty perspective, what could the IR office do to support this initiative - enhance accountability and support student learning and completion?
Question# 2 In order to succeed, students need to be supported both academically and socially. And we have made progress in both areas. We know that early academic achievement is a predictor of future success. With that in mind, we have created first-year seminars, developed writing centers and established academic support and advising centers at the schools. However, we still have not moved the needle in a substantial way. What can we do to move the needle?
Question# 3 Establishing a shared vision of student success and communicating that vision across your campus means you can more effectively align resources to support initiatives. What are you doing in this respect?
Question# 4 Clearly, our efforts to support students to graduation can be improved. As policy makers at the system level continue to shift their focus from access as important as that has been to the equitable delivery of education services to completion, the failure of these efforts is likely to come under increasing scrutiny. CSUB is committed to access. How can we accomplish these goals? Potential roadblocks?
Question# 5 How can we discover the factors contributing to better retention and graduation?
Question# 6 How can we better engage faculty, administrators, and students alike in achieving our goals?
