The CEHD Student Success Team has concluded that a successful student is one who is: informed, engaged, and present.
Student Success Envoys are the embodiment of this success formula – they are informed of university and college happenings and processes, engaged in classroom and extracurricular activities, and present physically, mentally, and emotionally, pausing often to reflect on their collegiate journey.
Members accepted into this organization will be charged with thoughtfully delivering this “student success formula” as they serve as ambassadors for the College and provide faculty and staff with insight into the CEHD student experience. Student Success Envoys should possess strong leadership skills to support them in fulfilling varying and diverse roles such as assisting with CEHD signature events and functions, including Welcome Back events, the Student Research Symposium, Degree Celebrations, and more.
