All Student Success teams are focused on prioritizing work to launch VTSU in a way that exceeds the expectations of students and improves their experience. There is a lot of activity occurring on many levels! Here are some of the highlights of current efforts:
Student Success Accomplishments/Updates:
- Searches for Student Success Advisors are nearing completion on multiple campuses.
- The search process for Resident Assistants is underway on all campuses with a consistent pay structure and other guidelines in place.
- The Dean of Students search committee is currently holding Zoom interviews with eight semi-finalists. Finalist interviews are slated for April and will include opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to participate.
- Vermont State 101, the online orientation program that all students will complete, is almost complete and on course to launch in May. Current students from multiple campuses are featured in the orientation videos – they did a fantastic job! Planning for the other three orientation activities – VTSU Summer Days, VTSU Kick-off Days, VTSU Welcome Days – are also underway.
- The Aviso team held a series of discovery meetings with the vendor designed to inform future practices for supporting students.
On the horizon:
