Aligning Governance with Innovative Student Success Strategies > Grand Salon D, Section 21, 1st Floor
This session will focus on trustee engagement and
student success. In difficult financial times, colleges often
have to balance budget cuts with innovative student

areas, positions, and programs targeted toward increasing
student success and completion. The data used to justify
both the plan and its results will be shared.

How to use data that builds board
engagement and support around making
tough budget decisions

Methods for setting strategic directions and
designing a plan to align resources with retention
and completion initiatives

Successful execution of a plan design and
assessment of student success strategies
