Student Engagement

The charge of the Division of the Vice Provost for Student Engagement (VPSE), on behalf of the Provost with the Deans of the twelve Schools and other senior University partners, is to markedly increase access, participation, engagement, and outcomes of students from cohort groups under-represented in postsecondary, graduate, and professional education by expanding their skills, knowledge, confidence, motivation, and preparedness to successfully navigate relevant application and enrollment processes.
