The Office of Student Success is committed to the development of transformative, solution-oriented leaders at all levels through competency based training. We understand the importance of strong partnerships between enrollment management and student success professionals and see this partnership as essential in the development and dissemination of innovative theory, research, and practice.
The Challenge:
The external landscape of higher education in Tennessee is changing quickly. To remain competitive and meet the needs of our students in the k-12 pipeline, TBR must have a capacity to adapt. Respect and consideration to the strategic intent aligned with TBR’s core values and the state’s Drive to 55 initiative is critical and can be accomplished through collaborative strategic planning. We must leverage data the right way to anticipate change and iteratively plan to allow flexibility and ongoing adjustments to the overall plan. Ultimately, the goal of the process will be to identify and execute strategic initiatives that best position TBR to meet the needs of the students we serve.
