Engineering Student Success Center
2022-2025 Blueprint for Student Success
The Engineering Student Success Center is a team of staff in the College of Engineering who work passionately and tirelessly to support our students. We do this through a variety of programs, initiatives, activities, and one-on-one engagement with students. The center was created in 2012 through a grant from the State of Kansas. In 2021, the center began an extensive strategic planning process to create a plan for elevating student success in the coming years. Below is our Blueprint for Student Success. Meet the team that is working every day to bring this plan to life.
***We are in the process of finalizing our 2022-2025 plan. Full plan details will be updated here in July 2022.***

Our Vision, Mission, & Values
What we aspire to become
We are a national model for student success in which engineering and computing students are empowered to take ownership of their educational experience and achieve academic and career excellence.
What we do; our purpose
We provide an unmatched college experience by fostering a welcoming community for current and future students to build confidence and create meaningful connections; to develop academic, personal, and professional skills; and to receive the resources and support needed to be successful in achieving their educational goals.
What we believe in and care about
Student Focused
We develop authentic relationships with students and provide a supportive environment for them to thrive. We support students individually and holistically, and we enhance the student experience through meaningful engagement with our programs and staff.
Collaboration
We cultivate relationships with university, community, and industry stakeholders to enhance opportunities for our students. We build networks of collaborations and partnerships to meet our students’ needs.
Quality
We are committed to excellence and high standards for serving students. We take pride in our work and exceed expectations in providing quality educational opportunities and helpful service.
Diversity & Inclusion
We value the diversity of our students. We provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for students of all backgrounds and identities and embrace them for who they are.
Our Strategic Focus Areas
Focus areas are the strategic initiatives around which we will organize our work and allocate our resources. Through the planning process, we identified four focus areas that will position us to most effectively pursue our mission, live out our values, and make progress toward our vision.
