Our Success is Measured by Our Students’ Success
A shared principle of our collective work as faculty, staff, and administrators at
CSUSM is that supporting student success and removing barriers that impede students
on their academic journey is the foundation of everything that we do.
To enhance the University’s ability to achieve this outcome in a coordinated and effective manner, CSUSM launched the Student Success & Retention Initiative in the spring of 2020. Under the joint leadership of the Provost and Vice President for Student Affairs, the initiative’s overarching intended outcomes are to ensure that the essential structural elements needed to support student success and retention are in place and that organizational efforts are coordinated, sustainable, and effective. The information presented on this and accompanying web pages is intended to provide a central point for the campus community to stay up to date on campus structures, initiatives, and progress in supporting our students’ success and achieving their academic goals.
If you have questions regarding student success initiatives or have student success related information that you would like to share with the campus community on these web pages, please email abrian@csusm.edu.
