Enhancing campus-wide collaboration: Strategies for improved student retention and success

What To Expect

Using a home-grown system, Surry Community College (SCC) suffered from student engagement initiatives that were unreliable and inconsistent across campus. Without the necessary buy-in from faculty and the resources to close the loop on active student intervention efforts, reaching students in real time was difficult. It was clear the college needed a change.

By implementing Watermark Student Success & Engagement (SS&E), SCC is able to ensure seamless communication across all stakeholders to foster targeted student interventions and improve overall student retention. In this webinar, college leaders from SCC will share how they promote holistic student support through effective collaboration. Learn how you too can unify your critical information, automate repetitive tasks, and bring the right people together to collaborate on student success initiatives.

You’ll learn:

• How different departments across campus use SS&E.
• How the college continues to create buy-in from all stakeholders.
• Unique tips on reporting, tags, and filters to facilitate collaborative student support.
• Functionalities SS&E provides outside of academic concerns.
