Building a Culture for Student Success

RECORDED ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 2022

Presenters: Dr. John Su, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Student Success; Andrew Hirsh, Ed ’21, Graduate Assistant for Assessment, M. Ed. Student

Learn how Marquette is re-envisioning student success across campus through a holistic approach that provides wrap-around support services in a central hub — The Lemonis Center for Student Success. The Lemonis Center will build on Marquette’s Catholic, Jesuit tradition by helping students engage in thoughtful discernment that is infused in Ignatian education, emphasizing a deep sense of connection and meaningful engagement. Through the center and beyond, our student success initiative will connect students with a network of advisers, mentors and resources from the moment they step on campus until they graduate. In addition, the center will employ innovative technology and groundbreaking research to support students as they develop the skills and resilience to overcome challenges and foster a sense of belonging. Marquette’s student success initiative will help improve retention and graduation rates as well as enrich and expand student opportunities — a primary objective in the university’s Time to Rise fundraising campaign.

Dr. John J. Su is vice provost for academic affairs and student success. Su previously served as director of the University Core of Common Studies and interim chair of the Department of English. As a scholar of global Anglophone literatures, he has authored two books and more than 20 articles and reviews.

In 2014, Su received the university’s highest teaching honor, the Robert and Mary Gettel Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence.
