Thank you to the OSU Women's Giving Circle for accepting President Ray's request to support the Student Success Center.
As I have shared with the Steering Committee the past two years, improving student retention and graduation rates is a key goal for Oregon State University. We also detailed in Phase II of the Strategic Plan that our performance in this area does not yet meet expectations and a more aggressive and integrated approach is needed. We see the Student Success Center as a critical component of our redoubled efforts. I have great confidence in our academic services staff, and I am certain that the resources and spaces provided by the Student Success Center will vastly enhance their work.
I know you will be proud of the great success stories that are sure to come from the Student Success Center. Again, thank you so much.
Have a wonderful summer.
