Leading Strategic Student Success

Leading Strategic Student Success is a four-week virtual institute that combines cutting-edge research with practical application. You will have the opportunity to engage with fellow participants and HGSE faculty as you participate in live sessions, discussion boards, and informal break-out sessions. The program also includes readings, case studies, and the development of a customized action plan. A description for each weekly module is below:

Module Week 1: Introductions and Foundations of Equitable Student Success     
Module Week 2: Innovative Practices and Policies          
Module Week 3: Organizational Change and Equitable Student Success   
Module Week 4: Action Planning and Wrap-Up

We strongly encourage live participation, as this will be the best opportunity to engage with your colleagues and faculty in the program. However, all sessions will be recorded and made available on the participant program website following the session(s).

If possible, we highly encourage you to attend the live orientation webinar on Thursday, April 4, 2024 from 12 to 1 p.m. ET, as it will be a valuable opportunity for face-to-face connection with fellow students and faculty. If you are unable to participate in the live event, we encourage you to watch the orientation recording, as the session will include useful introductory content and insights from the community.

Live sessions with faculty will be held on the following dates from 12 to 1:30 p.m. ET. Each session will include an optional virtual office hour from 1:30 to 2 p.m. ET. The live sessions will be recorded, but the office hours will not.
