Operating Style ”Over the last 4 months, I have observed great commitment on the part of the Student Success Department. Although staff members have been put in place to address specific aspects of the student’s college experience, the department works as a team that is able to cross over and meet the needs of our students. We meet regularly and share reports from each office in order to consistently evaluate our progress.”
