The Office of the University Provost at Arizona State University (ASU) seeks a collaborative, data-informed, and strategic leader to serve as Program Director of Student Success Initiatives for the National Scale Enterprise (NSE) grant. This role will lead university-wide efforts to identify, implement and scale innovative practices that advance undergraduate student success. Under the supervision of the Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence, this role brings all-encompassing excellence, research and practice expertise to a team focused on supporting colleges in designing and implementing coordinated strategic interventions for student success. This specific role requires coordinating the relationship with college liaisons and other student success experts within each college. Additionally, we seek specific expertise in how different aspects of student development, advising, learning experience, learning and institutional environment and student engagement may be impacting student outcomes. The role will combine a focus on data-informed knowledge and expertise in all-encompassing excellence to impact student enrollment, retention, completion, and post-completion as well as institutional innovation and change.

Goals include establishing a consultative and collaborative approach to centralized and distributed student success innovations, institutionalizing transformation through sustained School & College-level engagement and co-ownership of data-informed student success projects and practices.

• Promote all-embracing student-centered practices and frameworks that reflect ASU’s commitment to measuring success by whom we include and how they succeed.
• Translate findings and practices into clear recommendations and tools for practice and policy decisions, highlighting both successes and challenges and adaptations based on various structural contexts (size of school/college, length of time initiative has been in place, etc.)
