Everyone has a role in student success
Helping students be successful is truly a community effort. Depending on your role within the institution, however, you will likely have very specific priorities and goals in mind when you think about your student success initiatives.
The Spartan Success Network (powered by Starfish) works with members throughout the institution to address the specific needs of each user role, whether you are focused on working with individual students, ensuring the technology is up and running, or making institutional decisions based on data.
Resources for Faculty, Staff and Students
Spartan Success Network (SSN) gives you a convenient way to keep track of your students – raising flags when you observe a pattern of behavior that concerns you, ensuring that the people on campus who can intervene are aware. It also allows your students to easily book an appointment with you or someone else who can help.
Below are a few resources to help you navigate your way through the Spartan Success Network.
