UW-Whitewater knows you are capable of succeeding and reaching your goals. Sometimes you might need a little extra help... and that's where we come in! This site is dedicated to help you create your own definition of success and identify new strategies to help you succeed. Scroll down to check out some useful tips and resources!
Before checking out the resources, think about what "success" means to you and what resources might be helpful. Success can be defined in many ways, and ultimately it's something you define for yourself. To help you get started, UW-Whitewater has developed a framework to help define how success is measured on our campus. There are four dimensions of student success.
-
- What does this mean? Gaining the learning outcomes, skills, knowledge, and requirements for your major(s), minor(s), and other programs or experiences.
- How do I know how I'm doing? Check out your graded assignments, feedback from instructors/mentors/peers, and other assessments related to your program.
-
- What does this mean? Feeling connected to campus and participating in activities outside of academics that help you grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally.
