Mission, Vision, Evolution, Beliefs

  • Mission Statement

    Success Technologies strategically advances and supports success technologies within Academic Success by creating networks of support embedded in the student experience through technology.

  • Evolution of Academic Success Technologies

    Fall 2016 set out to shift the landscape on success technologies at KU by expanding awareness, identifying duplicate systems, uncovering need to streamline and coordinate efforts while supporting and further developing EAB Navigate/Jayhawk GPS. In Fall 2021, the Student Digital Experience Advisory Workgroup (SDE) prioritized key student technology improvement projects, research solutions and recommend priority rating, timeline, and course of action for each project that results in an improved KU student digital experience for both undergraduate and graduate students. Each project focuses on meeting strategic goals and are intended to improve the overall student experience and graduation goals for each student. The updates to the myKU portal is the first of such improvements.

  • Vision Statement

    Success Technologies partners with units across campus to enhance the overall KU student digital experience from admission through graduation, and beyond.

  • Our Guiding Work Beliefs

    Education paves the way to academic, professional, personal and civic growth. We respect students, their support systems and their team. Students are our priority; our work, our time and our urgency reflect that belief. We do not take success for granted – we work for it. We communicate directly, accurately and honestly. Ongoing change is fundamental to embracing our innovation values. Our work changes lives.
