SUNY Brockport is one of 18 institutions that is participating in a Student Success Equity Intensive, a comprehensive initiative designed to help institutions close the equity gaps of their Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and low-income students.
The initiative is part of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), which is a recipient of funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The comprehensive, team-based effort is designed to accelerate institutional transformation with the help of customized and data-informed decisions grounded in students’ realities. Campus leaders work as a cohort and learn promising practices to close equity gaps and achieve student success goals for Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and low-income students.
“SUNY Brockport is deeply committed to being a great university at which to learn for all of our students,” said SUNY Brockport President Heidi Macpherson. “We share AASCU’s goal of ensuring that socio-economic status and race no longer predict student success. We look forward to continuing to take steps toward accomplishing that goal through our work in this initiative.”
The SSEI cohort approach involves peer-to-peer learning across institutions via in-person and virtual Student Success Academies. Participants will have access to resources, such as online modules and webinars, and receive support from subject matter experts in data analytics, equity, student success, advising, institutional transformation, and strategic and systems planning.
