2022 Student Success Summit

Innovation through Collaboration

April 11-12, 2022, Louisville Marriott East

The 2022 CPE Student Success Summit was held on April 11-12, 2022 at the Louisville Marriott East.  The annual convening of faculty, staff and administrators from across the Commonwealth had four important goals:

• To inspire innovation and collaboration in our work. 
• To raise awareness of the new statewide strategic agenda and coherence with the Council's initiatives
• To accelerate progress on student success initiatives. 
• To foster connection and community among colleagues across institutions. 

Building upon the CPE Student Success Framework, this event featured keynote speakers and hands-on learning workshops that focused on connecting, charting, continuing and completing pathways to success.

• Featured speakers included CPE President Aaron Thompson Nancy Zimpher of the National Association of System Heads and Joe Cuseo, Professor Emeritus at Marymount California University.
• A student panel session was held on the second day and featured a recent alumni as the moderator and student panelists from Bluegrass Community and Technical College, Northern Kentucky University, the University of Kentucky, and Hazard Community and Technical College/Morehead State University.  
• Breakout sessions focused on a number of issues including transfer, work-based learning opportunities, student financial stability, clear pathways to degree completion, cultural competence, and how the statewide strategic agenda will guide student success. 
• Several workshops were also held for the Kentucky Graduate Profile Academy as well as both the Network Demonstration Project and KY Purpose First campus teams.
