WeCare — About Student Success At the COB, student success is at the heart of everything we do. Our vision of student success includes aligning our programs with industry certificates/recognition, coaching to guide students to positive outcomes, peer mentoring and an intense focus on advising students to the correct program and academic path for their goals and needs. Our coaching program is one example of this commitment — it offers students tailored guidance to navigate their academic and career paths. Faculty are certified through the Coach Training Alliance and provide valuable support — at no charge to students — that helps students enhance their goal setting, decision making and leadership skills. These efforts, along with enhanced insights, ensure we are continuously supporting our students, making data-driven decisions that enhance their academic journeys. When we care, students thrive. And our success goes beyond traditional measures of student success like persistence and graduation rates. Last year, the College of Business Student Council successfully secured funding to support initiatives that foster academic excellence and peer-to-peer connections. Their work helps students refine essential skills in leadership, communication and collaboration — all crucial for future career success. In addition, we had a record number of students earn SAP awards and SAS badges and get involved in extracurricular activities — such as IATA’s inaugural Airline Management Competition, the Boeing Business Fundamentals program and C.A.R.E.E.R. Ready tours across the United States. Certifications like SAP and SAS and in-workplace experiences are critical to long-term industry relevance and ongoing success in the workplace — student success factors we take seriously. Our success approach, known collectively as WeCare, is more than just a philosophy — it is a tangible commitment to every student’s success.
