In our efforts to support the strategic plan, we: • Coordinate outreach campaigns that monitor and support the academic success of all students • Facilitate the Scholars Project, which was created as part of Columbia’s Social Justice Initiative to support students who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) or first-generation college students • Initiate academic progress reports (APRs) and coordinate outreach to students who are flagged as being at risk to fail a course • Provide oversight for the Satisfactory Academic Progress and Petition for Exception processes • Act as the administrator of Columbia’s online caseload management/student success tool (SSC Navigate) • Manage Columbia’s Student Success Alerts, which allows staff and faculty to submit notifications when they are concerned about a student. Student Persistence ensures that the proper support person reaches out to each student. STUDENT PERSISTENCE 17
