Strategies include developing a First Year Experience, providing targeted support services, establishing a Black Student Success Center and tribal partnerships, enhancing campus communications, expanding Zero-Textbook Cost courses, and improving transfer tracking, all aimed at increasing student attendance, academic achievement, retention, and transfer rates while fostering a stronger sense of belonging and closing equity gaps.
