Move from a more generalized student success approach to adopting a personalized/individualized approach to student success;
Meet state performance standard by increasing persistence, retention and completion for all students;
Close the achievement gap for underrepresented students through the intentional use of data and metrics;
Create robust support mechanisms and programs for underrepresented students;
Redesign institutional approach to career/job placement and transfer to actively support students in achieving their goals;
Review course schedule, enrollment and payment processes to identify and remove institutional barriers to student completion.

4. Focus on Student Success
Is your functional area addressed in this theme? If not, suggest how this can be achieved.
Does your campus have current initiatives that should be reflected in this theme?
Can any of these strategies be generalized more, while still addressing the strategic theme?
Each location is to submit handouts to moderators, such that areas not addressed in discussions can be used in the formalization of the Strategic theme report, prior to the next round of discussion.
