The °µÍøÊÓÆµOffice of Student Success was recently awarded a $2.2 million Title III Grant, called Student Academic Growth, Engagement and Success (SAGE Success), from the U.S. Department of Education.

The five-year grant, proposed by Melanie Hulbert, Ph.D., and Cameron Nay, will build upon many of UAA's student success initiatives by providing peer-to-peer programs that engage students in gateway courses to persist. This includes academic coaches that will provide one-on-one study skills, time management and self-efficacy skills, and a best practice peer mentor program designed to engage with first-year students as they begin their academic careers at UAA.

"This grant directly aligns with °µÍøÊÓÆµ2027 by putting students first and meeting the needs of our diverse student body by building relationships and letting them know that they belong at UAA," said °µÍøÊÓÆµProvost Denise Runge.

As the °µÍøÊÓÆµLearning Commons prepares to move from Sally Monserud Hall to the UAA/APU Consortium Library, the grant will help greatly expand these critical services for all students.
