The University community is invited to observe
upcoming Student Success/Budget meetings hosted by President Sidney A. McPhee
along with Provost Brad Bartel, Alan Thomas, interim vice president for
Business and Finance, and Dr. Tricia Farwell, 2015-16 Faculty Senate
president.
The meetings will be held later this month, with the complete
schedule below.
At these meetings, each college dean will highlight accomplishments
in pursuing the goals of the University’s Quest for Student Success initiative
and the status of the implementation of the goals. Also, as part of these
meetings, deans will present their budget requests for the coming academic year
and these funding requests should directly connect to the student success
plan.
Launched in 2013, the Quest for Student Success lays out plans to
innovate for increased student success in three key areas:
• Recruiting students who
value academic success;
• Enhancing the academic
experience for students by implementing innovation in curriculum across all
disciplines and underscoring the role of quality advising in student success;
and
• Championing enhancements
in administrative processes and eliminating barriers to student success.
The ultimate goal is to increase student retention and graduation
rates in line with Gov. Bill Haslam’s Drive to 55 initiative, which aims to
increase the number of Tennesseans with a certificate or degree beyond high
school.
These Student Success/Budget Request meetings will be held April
