The Education Advisory Board EAB has named Tuskegee University the winner of its Student Success Collaborative-Return to Education Award.
EAB’s Student Success Collaborative, Return on Education Award recognizes an institution that has seen significant and measurable results from its efforts to help students persist, graduate, and thrive. Tuskegee University has seen an average 3% increase in both Retention and Graduation Rates since implementing EAB.
EAB has recognized outstanding achievements in student success for eight years in a row. Awardees are chosen from among the colleges, universities, and individuals that use Navigate, EAB’s student success management system, or Starfish, the student success platform EAB acquired earlier this year.
“Students, faculty, and campus staff are still learning how to access and deliver the right combination of online and in-person support services that are critical to student success,” said AB President of Technology, Scott Schirmeier. “The winners of EAB’s 2021 Student Success Collaborative Awards have gone above and beyond in their mission to keep students on track to graduate at a time when the pandemic has completely upended the traditional student support model.”
Tuskegee University’s Navigate/EAB leadership team is comprised of Dr. Elaine Bromfield, University Registrar; Dr. Jannett Lewis-Clark, Department Head/Assistant Professor Department of Allied Health and Nursing; Dr. Kellei Samuels, Associate Vice President Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Research, Assessment, and Planning SACSCOC Liaison and Edna Woodson, Coordinator of Student Retention and Persistence/ Navigate Liaison.
