Student success is the primary goal for every institution of higher education. Achieving the outcomes we desire is a complicated process and requires the commitment and collaboration of staff and faculty across campus. As SUNY is building capacity and best practices for individualized education featuring campus and student leadership/models/methods, our communities of practice have joined together in order to facilitate collaboration, networking, and sharing of ideas to improve offerings across the state.
Join us in Albany on Monday through Wednesday, Oct. 28 — 30, when three SUNY communities of practice: Advising, Applied Learning, and Student Success come together to identify strategies to ensure each student in SUNY is successful in their academic pursuit.

Tracks include:
Advising
Advisors and academic professionals will share ideas, network and identify system-wide opportunities for advancement and collaboration in academic advising. This track explores how we best assist students in defining educational goals, navigate academic requirements, and realize their maximum academic and career potential. Academic advisors support students in all phases of their college careers and work in collaboration with faculty, campus partners, and other resources to support students’ academic success.
Applied Learning
An educational approach whereby students learn by engaging in direct application of skills, theories and models. Students apply knowledge and skills gained from traditional classroom learning to hands-on and/or real-world settings, creative projects or independent or directed research, and in turn apply what is gained from the applied experience to academic learning. Applied learning can occur outside of the traditional classroom experience and/or be embedded as part of a course.
Student Success
This track focuses on developing and strengthening academic and support pathways that promote student access, success and completion. SUNY’s 64 colleges and universities are committed to improving rates of college completion, transfer and attainment of jobs of value in the labor market, and to achieve equity in those outcomes for all students. SUNY-wide initiatives and campus best practices are highlighted here.
