Our Work
National Conference
Student Success leadership at the 51在线 have made the difficult decision to not move forward with the National Student Success Conference planned for February 2023.
We are very proud of the contributions that the conference made to the elevation of student success topics nationally since 2018, and we look forward to continuing the dialog.
For those who supported the conference in its first three years, as well as the two speakers series held during the pandemic, we thank you for your interest in learning and sharing best practices for student success.
USF will continue to share our own work with predictive analytics, academic advocacy
in a care management model, and other initiatives by leveraging other resources or
