STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Tarleton State University is one of just 19 U.S. institutions selected to participate in the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Student Success Equity Intensive Cohort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is designed to close equity gaps for Black, Latinx, indigenous and low-income students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participants for the second national cohort were selected through a competitive application process. Tarleton is one of eight Texas universities chosen for the program. Seven of those schools are in The Texas A&M University System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are extremely grateful to the Gates Foundation and AASCU for this opportunity,\u201d said Tarleton President James Hurley. \u201cThe success of every<\/em> student has been our core mission for 123 years, and we are relentlessly passionate about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cParticipation in this program will help us make the dream of a transformative university education a reality for even more Tarleton Texans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two-year cohort experience provides customized support so that institutions can make data-informed decisions grounded in students\u2019 realities. Campus leaders learn practices to ensure that race and income are no longer predictors of success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The SSEI approach involves peer-to-peer learning across institutions via in-person and virtual Student Success Academies. Participants have access to online modules and webinars, and they hear from subject matter experts in data analytics, equity, student success, advising, institutional transformation, and strategic and systems planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor more than 50 years, AASCU has partnered with member institutions to deliver on America\u2019s promise of access, affordability and educational opportunity,\u201d said AASCU President Mildred Garcia. \u201cThe SSEI cohort articulates an equity imperative to help everyone see their role in ensuring success for Black, Latinx, indigenous and low-income students.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Tarleton State University is one of just 19 U.S. institutions selected to participate in the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Student Success Equity Intensive Cohort.
