The Division of Undergraduate Education and Student Success (UESS) stewards the undergraduate culture of inquiry at the heart of a superior residential research university. UESS promotes academic excellence and engagement, access, and success. We support the coherence, relevance, and impact of our students’ educational journeys.
Our work is guided by the following core values:
From a holistic perspective, we partner with students to enrich their learning and support them in achieving their individual goals.
We seek and respect different points of view and historical contexts to evolve our thinking and inform our actions. We invest in our shared success by developing relationships, building inclusive coalitions, and supporting one another to be our best.
We disrupt, change, and create practices, structures, and policies to realize equity for all members of our communities.
We assess the effects of our strategies and systems to improve our practices and meaningfully impact students. We use data to inform our decision-making and advance a culture of evidence.
We acknowledge the constraints of our perspectives, operate with curiosity, embrace new ideas, and see challenges as opportunities to align our work with our shared values and develop innovative solutions.
