Editor's Note

John B. Craig, Ed.D.

Increasingly, educators at all levels from academic and student affairs are scrambling to provide meaningful learning experiences, programming, and support for students both in and outside of the classroom. During the last several months, many college/university students have had to learn, engage with faculty, staff, and each other in a virtual setting. Many colleges/universities have had to make the pivot to online learning and faculty have had to learn new technology and make lessons interactive while ensuring student engagement. This is not an easy feat. Despite the challenges, students have been resilient, faculty and staff have been innovative, and administration has been flexible—because at the end of the proverbial day, student success is paramount. .

This issue of the Journal provides our readers with an eclectic array of research, reports on innovative programs and best practices related to student success. We trust this edition will be useful to practitioners, administrators, and policymakers alike. After all, student success is all our responsibility. .
