Advisory Council for Enhancing Student Success
 
Pursuant to a March 2007 resolution of the Faculty Senate and Priority C of UAA 2017 (“Expand Educational Opportunity and Increase Student Success”), Provost Driscoll appointed the Student Success Task Force in November 2007.

The Provost directed the Task Force to:
1.    Define issues, challenges, and opportunities related to student success;
2.    Make recommendations with respect to advising and placement as per the Senate’s request; and
3.    Inventory existing student success programs across the MAU, taking care to identify measures of program success.

Within the framework of the Provost’s directive, the Task Force concentrated on three points of emphasis.
1.    The improvement of retention from first year to second.  
2.    The development of good metrics and measures to determine which programs work best.
3.    The implementation of Priority C of UAA 2017 (“Expand Educational Opportunity and Increase Student Success”).
