American Talent Initiative-Featured UT Austin Students

 

March 16, 2018

Student Success Initiatives (SSI) is very pleased to share recent publications both about SSI programs and authored by SSI staff.

Every Student Graduates provides a detailed account of SSI’s programs, how each initiative was implemented, the results the university has achieved as a result, and SSI’s plans for continued improvement in UT Austin’s undergraduate persistence and four-year graduation rates.

When Your College Has Your Back, a New York Times opinion editorial by the University of California, Berkeley’s David L. Kirp, examines four-year graduation rate trends across the country and the steps UT Austin has taken to support students on their path to an on-time graduation.

Improving Success for Students with Multiple Risk Factors is a chapter authored by several SSI staff members in Robert S. Feldman’s The First Year of College: Research, Theory, and Practice on Improving the Student Experience and Increasing Retention. It also highlights SSI’s strategies for improving undergraduate persistence and four-year graduation rates.

And four students in SSI programs recently were featured in the American Talent Initiative’s #ActivateTalent campaign. Pictured above from left to right are:

  • Jesus Castellano, University Leadership Network
  • Luciana Gutierrez-Moreno, Presidential Scholars
  • Sam Olayiwola, Presidential Scholars and University Leadership Network
  • Shania Williams, University Leadership Network
