What faculty, staff, and administrators in postsecondary institutions need now is practical assistance — and that is what ICSSIA will provide. Demands for greater accountability and requirements for assessing outcomes can be glib, but not practical; educators want to ensure student success, but must learn how. Educators and scholars in many other countries have rich knowledge and experience in promoting student success; this section will allow those conversations to take place.

ICSSIA will help institutions learn from and be inspired by the unique and innovative ideas of international and US affiliated institutions. Participation in these conversations is an important step in making the Center interactive and advancing the progress and understanding of measures of student success.
