成功的航海家
Vice President of Student Affairs, Director of Student Experience, 成功的航海家
As part of the Title III grant, Success Navigator positions were identified as a way to address a gap in onboarding processes, which was especially impacting BIPOC students. 成功的航海家 will assist students with the transition to college through new student onboarding, registration assistance and wrap-around services. These supports will work to increase enrollment, improve full-time degree seeking fall to fall retention and completion rates, and decrease onboarding process disparities between BIPOC and white students.
