The best student-success initiatives take years to bear fruit. But high turnover among college and university leaders means they rarely get the consistent support they need. On average, college presidencies change every six years, and provost roles change every four years. If higher-ed institutions want to maintain their focus on student success, they must invest in a pipeline of leaders who will carry the torch as they replace departing administrators.
