Comprehensive student success approach helps Spartans flourish as students and citizens


I was delighted to join my colleagues Erin Carter and Amy Martin discussing the five opportunity areas for Student Success with Bill Beekman as part of his series on the Strategic Plan themes. We talked about the history of student success at MSU, the definition of the five student success areas, and shared some of the great work happening across campus.

Student success initiatives help more Spartans learn, thrive, and graduate


I sat down with VP Bill Beekman and WKAR’s Russ White to record a podcast on the work being done to advance MSU toward the Student Success goals outlined in the 2030 Strategic Plan. The conversation reminded me of how much we have accomplished over the last five or six years and how much energy there is in every corner of campus to improve our students’ experiences.
