PSU believes that students succeed when caring faculty and staff connect them to the opportunity and support they need to experience the transformative power of a college education. We realize PSU’s commitment to student success when our students achieve their goals.
Student Success is led by Vice Provost of Student Success, Erica Wagner, who has outlined a strategic framework for organizing and coordinating a campus-wide focus on student success, Students First. This framework includes executive support from President Percy for the Leadership Council that will be responsible for steering, coordinating, and assessing PSU’s commitment to improving student success outcomes.
We’ve organized the Students First into focus areas. These include Persistence, Academic Success, Affordability, and Student Experience, all supported by the strategic use of data. We will pay careful attention to the institutional data we use to define our metrics, set explicit targets, and put powerful data tools in the hands of the people best positioned to act on that data.
