This is evidenced by the success stories of our Titans. The support of our student services professionals allow Titans to Reach Higher as they receive scholarships and awards, prepare for graduate school and enter their professional careers. Our assessment reveals that co-curricular involvement allows students the opportunity to develop as engaged, responsible citizens and leaders in our global society. We know lives are transformed because of our passion, commitment to our core values, and dedication to our strategic plan. Remarkable progress was made in 2014-2015 toward reaching our goals: GOAL 1 Our effective collaboration with Academic Affairs in forming a Student Success Team has significantly attributed to Strategic Goal 1 progress. Student Success Teams represent a true partnership between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs to retain and graduate all Titans in a timely manner. Student Success Initiative funds made possible the hiring of nine Graduation Specialists, nine Retention Specialists, and one Trainer to help with CSUF’s retention and graduation efforts. Increased overall CSUF six-year graduation rate past 60 percent, exceeding our 2018 goal already! GOAL 2 Retention efforts have also been reviewed and enhanced in collaboration with academic colleges and campus partners to support Strategic Goal 2. For example, we celebrated the one-year opening of the Titan Dreamers Resource Center, increased staff in our Diversity Initiatives and Resource Centers department, opened the Center for Scholars in the Pollak Library, and re-envisioned transition programs such as Welcome to CSUF Day, Orientation, and our Assistant Dean Program to better support student success and retention.
