    Climbing higher: A shared commitment to student success

    Join us in Salt Lake City as Student Success US celebrates its 5th year, hosted in partnership with Utah’s flagship college, The University of Utah. 

    Designed for Vice Presidents, Deans, and Directors of Student Success, this year’s event turns insight into action. Through interactive workshops and candid ‘Success Spotlights', we translate real student perspectives into your practical playbook for retention, wellbeing, and career readiness. 

    Informed by Inside Higher Ed’s Student Voice survey, conversations will move beyond theory and tackle what students really need, when they need it.

    What the agenda will focus on

    With 100+ speakers delivering over 40 hours of content, the agenda is structured around four core tracks addressing the most pressing challenges facing student success leaders today.

    Academic support and technology for today's learner
    College experiences

    Student health and wellness


    Life beyond college 

    Attending Student Success US was an inspiring experience! The sessions were insightful and gave us practical tools and strategies to better support student success on our own campuses. Hearing from leaders and innovators in the field provided a fresh perspective on tackling the challenges of today’s higher education landscape, and I left feeling motivated and equipped with new ideas.
