YESS priorities
Hundreds of dedicated faculty and staff have participated in multiple workgroups to choose and then focus on the following key priorities:
Guided pathways

“Our commitment to the core values of engagement, authenticity, collaboration and ownership intentionally centers our Academic and Career Pathway design in systemic action that is grounded in honoring student voice, identity and needs.” Elise Ferreira de Azevedo, Title III Project Director
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice
Reinforcing racial justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion as core to improving student outcomes.

Data and technology
Increasing capacity in our access, understanding, and use of data to drive programming and budget decisions.
