Starfish Phase One



Initiative TitleStarfish Phase One
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

Working with multiple departments of the college, Starfish has been deemed a viable solution to provide for the student success experience of the college.  In phase one of implementation, we would be focusing on the areas that will allow for immediate improvements to our ability to maximize student success.  The Advising Department and Tutoring Center have already expressed enthusiasm for how this tool would improve their ability to assist students.  We would be focusing on these areas for phase one and slowly bringing in other areas of the College in the additional phases of this project. 

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

If this initiative is not funded, we will not have a toolset to expand the current hard work of those supporting student success on campus.  While Starfish is not critical to our continued business, it will be able to provide much-needed supplemental tools to aid our staff and eventually faculty in providing the best student experience.

Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
Starfish will give tools initially to our Advising and Tutoring staff to allow them to better serve our students and assist in raising students that may be struggling in our college to their attention. This will allow them to assist students in removing barriers they may not even be aware of themselves.
Each student will be analyzed separately and this information will allow support staff to reach out to them individually to assist them with their unique needs in order to ensure everything is done to provide for their success at SUNY Orange.
