Charge

The Student Success Operational Group (SSOG) is charged with establishing a working definition of equitable student success that reflects CC’s mission, vision, and values paired with a comprehensive, campus-wide strategy to improve student retention and graduation rates and ensure all students have a transformational experience.

The SSOG is comprised of six subcommittees:

Monitoring and Assessment

This subcommittee is responsible for developing, implementing, and overseeing comprehensive systems to monitor and assess student success initiatives at the College level. It will identify key performance indicators, collect and analyze relevant data, and provide regular reports to inform decision-making and strategy development.

Policy and Process Review

This subcommittee is tasked with identifying and addressing systemic institutional barriers to student success within the college's policies, procedures, and structures. It will review and recommend improvements to administrative processes, academic policies, and institutional practices to create a more supportive and efficient environment for student learning and achievement.

Digital Student Experience

This subcommittee is responsible for optimizing and enhancing the digital landscape of student engagement and learning at the College. It will oversee the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of digital platforms, tools, and resources that support student success. The subcommittee will focus on ensuring seamless integration of technology in academic and administrative processes and leveraging technologies to create a more accessible, personalized, and effective digital environment.

Student Support

This subcommittee is responsible for developing, coordinating, and enhancing comprehensive support services for all students, with a particular focus on at-risk and struggling students. It will oversee the development and implementation of early alert systems, coordinated care models, and targeted intervention strategies. The subcommittee will work to ensure that support services are accessible, effective, and responsive to diverse student needs.

High Impact Practices

This subcommittee is responsible for identifying, integrating, and streamlining existing high-impact educational practices (HIPs) across the college. It will focus on enhancing the coherence and visibility of HIPs within academic pathways aligned with student’s aspirations within and beyond college. It will also assess the effectiveness of HIPs in promoting student engagement, retention, and post-graduation success.

Awards and Fellowships

This subcommittee is responsible for enhancing student access to and success in pursuing fellowships, scholarships, and academic awards. It will develop and implement strategies to increase awareness of opportunities, provide guidance and support throughout application processes, and cultivate relationships with granting organizations. The subcommittee will also work to create and oversee internal recognition programs that celebrate student achievements and promote a culture of academic excellence.
