as a Model for Academic and Student
Affairs Partnerships
Partnership in Context:
Questions for Consideration
1. What is excellence in first year / transfer student

3. How could you reach that aspirational level?
4. How could you use intentional partnerships
between academic and student affairs to
achieve excellence?
