After months of gathering and assessing input from all campus constituents during our planning phase, four key student success projects emerged. These four projects focus on areas of national best practices and align closely with our Moon Shot for Equity initiative. Cross-divisional teams have been appointed to lead these campus-wide projects and work has begun in earnest to implement necessary changes to create a better experience for all our students. SBD is on the move!
Project Overview
Review of processes for admissions, financial aid, and accounts payable with goal to streamline or bolster processes to make them seamless for students. Will also review communication strategies for each part of the process.
