- 18. Staff Perceptions One thingthat we hear from the top is student success is graduation rate, and I don't necessarily define it that way. And I don't even necessarily define it as job ready because some use college as a stepping-stone to get to university, and it works the other way to…To me it needs to be kept flexible, and should have a student focus to help them achieve their goals in life …I would like to keep it general.
- 19. Students’ Perceptions To me,its not just marks. I think you have more success when you are involved and around other students. So your extracurricular, your time management skills are part of your success. I get good grades, but I do a lot of extra things on campus. I work with the student pub on campus, I work at the convenience store. Student success is not just about getting good marks, its about making yourself a well rounded individual.

- #9 This project is part of the larger Supporting Student Success research study. We sought to comprehend how the stakeholders that we interviewed defined student success. Our aim is to contribute to the body of literature that examines and defines student success.
- #11 This is the theoretical framework we explored for this paper. It exemplifies the various pathways and factors that can influence student success. Here is the link to the Kuh and colleagues’ piece: http://nces.ed.gov/npec/pdf/kuh_team_report.pdf
- #12 These were the definitions (18 in total) that participants utilized to describe student success. These definitions were tallied and entered into wordle (http://www.wordle.net/) to create the imagery. Personal Success represents the most utilized definition.
- #13 Given that there were 18 different definitions, we tallied up the top three for each of the four groups. You can see that faculty and senior administrators both chose retention and graduation as their number one definition of student success, and that staff and students ranked personal success as their first choice. As you go down each of the lists you will notice some interesting similarities and differences among the groups.
- #14 Definitions of student success were put into two domains: Academic and personal success. These five codes fell under academic success.
- #15 Codes for personal success.
- #16 This is the framework that we composed based on the definitions and two domains that were developed. Overall, for participants, student success really varied by student. A holistic definition links both academic and personal success.
- #21 Student success can be descried as all (and more) of the answers we posed in the first slide: Retention and graduation Year-to-year persistence Employment after graduation Sense of belonging Student engagement Student satisfaction Community Building Taking risks ......... While faculty and senior administrators primarily defined student success as retention and graduation, they understood that there was more to success than these two outcomes. While staff and students defined student success as personal, they also emphasized the importance of academic success and having a sense of belonging on campus. During our interviews and through analyzing institutional documents, we noticed that the organizational structure of the institution can influence the way that stakeholders interpret student success. Mission and Vision statements for example may define student success in academic terms and outcomes (e.g. retention/graduation/employability of graduates).
