Goals of Today’s Internal Kick-off Event
Give undergraduate stakeholders details about the Title V Grants at NSU (Summary, Staff, Objectives, Timelines)Enhance excitement and momentum around undergraduate student successShare demographic, retention, and engagement information about the undergraduate populations with stakeholders can use this information to more effectively serve this population (including continuous plans for data collection and assessment) Celebrate the contributions of those involved in Undergraduate Student Success work to date
According to the U.S. Department of Education, “a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) is defined as a non-profit institution that has at least 25% Hispanic full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment.” http://www.ed.gov/programs/idueshsi/definition.html
Title V is a five year grant from the United States Department of Education under the Title V (Hispanic Serving Institutions) Program. This program helps eligible institutions of higher education (IHEs) enhance and expand their capacity to serve Hispanic and low-income students by providing funds to improve and strengthen the academic quality, institutional stability, management, and fiscal capabilities of eligible institutions.
The primary goal of the NSU grant is to provide support to develop research-based programs targeted at increasing student engagement and retention, leading to academic success.

Jean Torres“When I began college, I thought I was fooling myself about even attending
college. I thought that college would soon show me that I was a failure and I would never graduate…I will begin Dental School next year where I will continue my
academic success and defy the odds by continuing to construct my extraordinary story.
So my question is what is your story and are you willing to defy the odds? “
Cynthia Zamor “Success to me is not the number of awards I’ve won or the amount of people who are aware of what I’ve accomplished; it’s the simple
fact that I am achieving everything that I’ve set out to do.”
Gumbold Ligden“I know what it feels like to be alone and on your own. I believe that if you take
responsibility for your life and make conscious decisions then you are bound for success.”
