Student Success Guiding Coalition

The UT System Student Success Guiding Coalition is a system-convened collective of student success leaders and advocates dedicated to keeping students at the center of the work to generate, sustain, and accelerate momentum in student success efforts and initiatives. Honoring institution-specific and asset-based approaches to student success, the Guiding Coalition shares lessons learned and best practices, facilitates communication and collaboration, and helps lead efforts to remove barriers and disparities in student outcomes at our institutions and at the system level. We are committed to ensuring the financial well-being, effective advising, and sense of belonging for every student within the UT System. And, we ensure that student voices and realities remain at the forefront of system-level decision-making, polices and practice.
