The Evolution of Student Success

Since it emerged as a priority in the middle of the 20th century, student success has gone through a number of evolutions. Fifty years ago, “student success” referred primarily to student engagement. Over the years, it has come to include first-year experience, degree planning and progress, career development, and much more.
