In 2022, Student Affairs and Academic Affairs embarked on a landscape analysis and strategic thinking to prioritize student success initiatives. These initiatives are being led by 5 strategy groups that have support and input from students, staff, and faculty. They align with our university's strategic plan and will serve as the road map that ensures we focus on the most critical needs of the campus community.
The 5 strategy groups are led by the student success steering committee which consists of leaders from each group and the co-conveners Amanda Figueroa, AVC for Social Mobility (ambruner@uw.edu) and Bonnie Becker, AVC for Student Success (bjbecker@uw.edu).
For detailed information about the work and our progress please review the final documents below.
