Helping our students to be successful is a team effort. Depending on your role within the institution, however, you will likely have very specific priorities and goals in mind when you think about how to best support students. Drake will launch a new student success platform, called Starfish, in August 2018.  Starfish works with all members of our institution to address their specific needs. Overall, the vision of Starfish is to help students succeed and graduate. It is an easy to use tool with a great user interface that gives faculty, students, and staff the opportunity to connect and communicate. The planning team has just started its work on the project, look for more updates as we approach the end of the school year.
