Becoming a Student-Ready College
“requires more than a mission or diversity statement that touts philosophical ideals of inclusiveness. Being a student-ready college even means more than expressed commitments to inclusion and student-centeredness. A student-ready college is one that strategically and holistically advances student success and works tirelessly to educate all students for civic and economic participation in a global, interconnected society.”
