What It Actually Takes to Scale Student Success

The University of Cincinnati coordinates student success across 16 colleges and 53,600 students without a centralized structure, without growing headcount, and with measurable results: a 15.8% increase in first-year enrollment, a 1.9 pp retention lift, and a 7.7 pp improvement in six-year graduation rates.

In this session, Tara Warden, Assistant Vice Provost at UC, walks through exactly how — the model, the infrastructure, and what it took to make it stick.

What You Will Learn:

• How UC built coordination across 16 colleges without a centralized structure or new headcount
• What the Bearcat Promise required operationally and how commitment became day-to-day infrastructure
• How the Student Impact Platform gets the right signals to the right teams without routing everything through one office
• What it takes to move from reactive early alert to proactive, coordinated outreach at scale
• What Tara would tell a peer VP or SSP director who is not sure where to start
