Informational Webinars

An Invitation

Join John N. Gardner , Betsy O.

Since 2003, 197 four and two-year institutions have participated in Foundations of Excellence and are implementing action plans for improvement.

Applications are reviewed and spaces awarded on a rolling basis during this period until capacity is reached.

» support learning and retention of first-year and transfer students

» help you set cost-effective priorities for student support initiatives

» involve your faculty in a substantive discussion of new student success

» provide a strategy and rationale for integrating academic and student life
