Student success stories is one way we are working to communicate the work of our office and collaborators around campus. Beginning in 2025, we are scheduling at least one monthly discussion of a student success story, featuring data-informed insights about student success at JMU. Our goals are:
- communicate insights and impact of Student Success Analytics
- highlight the human/student side of student success data
- maintain current and build new relationships through student success work.
Meeting presentations are recorded to share here, though the discussion is not recorded. The schedule will be updated below.
