Welcome to the Student-Success Resource Center
Helping first-generation, rural, and incarcerated students thrive is critically important to the future of higher ed and the nation. To assist colleges with this mission, The Chronicle, with support from the Ascendium Education Group, has created this resource center to share insights about improving student outcomes, social mobility, and the reskilling of workers.
The goal of our 2023 program is to bring forward the voices of underserved students and provide the information and tools that higher-ed leaders and faculty members need to serve them.
