The Student Success Leadership Institute (SSLI) was launched in 2016 to help colleges with the implementation of structured, guided pathways reforms and to support cross-institution sharing of best practices and data sets to help drive strategic decision making. The Center hosts two-day institutes in February and September each year giving college teams the opportunity to hear from national and state experts, share model practices from the campus level, engage with colleagues, and plan and reflect on progress with scaling student success reforms.
SSLI Team Composition:
SSLI is a team-based event, coordinated by a college lead. Each college sends an average of 12 people, often including the president, chief academic officer, chief financial officer, and chief student affairs officer, as well as representatives from:
- Institutional Research
- Academic Affairs
- Advising
- Student Services
- Workforce
Upcoming 2026 SSLI Dates: February 24-25, 2026 (virtual) and September 17-18, 2026 (location TBD)
