Initiative Title	Student Success Center
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Student support takes many forms at Orange, and while support is fairly comprehensive, there are still areas in the academic arena where additional supports are needed. This initiative seeks to continue the discussion and planning already taking place to identify the specific supports needed, and to engage with departments, and service areas to come together to harness their strengths. We envision a type of Center for Teaching and Learning for students, a place where students receive support and training to assist them in navigating the many aspects of the student experience from an academic point of view. This initiative does not seek to replicate services already in place, but to partner with them and to add new supports, involving campus experts already in place. We envision this to be a new collaborative model.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	College can be a confusing place for students to navigate. We are hopeful that providing students with an academic support center, where they can obtain critical technology, research, and other types of assistance will contribute to retention, and fill at least one already identified gap--technology knowledge and training. Funding is not being requested at this time, as this is a developing initiative.

Prioritization Notes

Level 4

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

As the initiative itself states: “funding is not being requested at this time, as this is a developing initiative”. The PBIE committee agrees that this is in the planning phase and more efforts are needed to identify the specific supports, but offering more centralized and better coordinated support services to our students would enhance and improve many students SUNY Orange experience and will positively impact our retention rates. More work is needed to develop this initiative, but this committee believes it should be a priority for the College.
