Opportunities:

  • Financial Impact of Increased Retention
  • The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment will present a Multi-Year Funding Model to workgroup in October, 2024
  • The SRE Workgroup will provide opportunities and concerns for the Financial Impact Model
  • Reducing Barriers to Student Success
  • SRE Workgroup is conducting multiple student focus groups throughout Fall 2024 to better understand barriers students are facing related to progression and graduation
  • SRE Workgroup is compiling a list of perceived barriers to student success
  • National Institute for Student Success:
  • Phase 1: Fall 2024 UMaine & UMM Diagnostic Analysis Conducted
  • NISS Campus Stakeholder Survey (40-50 key student support service stakeholders, administrators, etc.)
  • NISS Institutional Data and Operations Questionnaire (provides detailed data from several student support resources)
  • Members of SRE Workgroup may be included in the NISS Diagnostic Analysis
  • SRE Ideas generated as part of this process will be shared with NISS Team
  • Phase 2: Fall 2024 UMaine & UMaine Machias Student Success Playbook is developed
  • Shared with President’s Cabinet
  • Shared more broadly across the university
  • SRE Workgroup will provide opportunities and concerns for the initiatives within the playbook

Concerns:

  • How will additional revenue generated from increased retention be reinvested to support student success efforts across UMaine and UMaine Machias
  • Once the NISS Diagnostics and Playbook are shared with the SRE Workgroup, a complete list of opportunities and concerns will be provided
