Common Goals & Objectives

What obstacles do all students face, regardless of their situation or their academic goals?

Student Success is Not Easy

Who Am I? What do I care about?How can I prepare for higher educa7on?

How Can I Succeed? What resources are

there to help me when I struggle?

What is My Plan? I’m enrolled–now how do I match my goals to my

course plans?

Where Should I Go? What is the right school so I can reach my goals?

How do I get in?

Well-meaning institutions invest in student support staff, tools, facilities, and programs, with mixed—or unknown—results

Everyone Wants to Help

Who Are Our Students?

Who are they? What do they want? How can we help them along the way?

How Will We Know? What metrics are we

measuring? How can our data help us make

decisions?

Can We Do BeZer? How can we scale what works to reach more

students, more effec7vely?

How Are We Helping?

What are we doing today? What impact is

that making?
