Spring 2023
By the spring of 2023, CSS had once again heard great things about many campus personnel who continued the often-unseen work of retention through daily acts of kindness and behind-the-scenes heroism. Grateful for this work, the Provost’s Office committed to recognizing these individuals, this time expanding the recognition to include staff and all campus personnel.
Students identified 136 campus personnel as their Student Success Champions:
- 63 Faculty
- 9 Advisors
- 2 Librarians
- 2 Counseling Center Employees
- 2 Student Support Services Staff
- 2 Financial Aid Counselors
- 2 Housing & Residence Life Staff and 6 R.A.s
- 9 Student Peer Employees
- 9 Food Service Employees
- 4 Members of the Housekeeping Staff
- 2 Rec Center Employees
- 2 Front Desk staff
- I Grounds & Maintenance Employee
- 2 Bookstore Employees
- 3 G.A.s
- 16 Other (includes administrators)
Each of these Student Success Champions received a framed certificate with a photo of the John Marshall statue overlayed with a text acknowledging their contribution to student success and retention.
The Student Success Champions represented 7 colleges and 27 departments plus many non-academic units. Of the teaching faculty, Chemistry had the strongest representation with 13 professors or staff named; English had 12 and Music had 7.
Nineteen faculty members appeared on both the 2021 and 2023 list.

Provost Avi Mukherjee and Director of Student Success Kateryna Schray made an effort to deliver as many of the certificates in person as possible. Many of those moments are captured in video.
