Pillar 2: First in Class

Over the next five years, we are committed to elevating the UCI student experience in the following ways:

• Accelerating our efforts to make UC Irvine a top choice for students of all backgrounds.
• Diversifying pedagogical options for students who seek a balance between traditional in-person instruction and high quality online, distance learning, or technology-enhanced educational opportunities.
• Establishing national leadership in the research and practice of data-informed student success by building on the UCI Measuring Undergraduate Success Trajectories (UCI-MUST) project, the Comprehensive Analytics for Student Success (COMPASS) initiative, and other resources in order to further improve overall student outcomes and eliminate achievement gaps among various cohorts of students.
• Developing high-quality, universally designed, innovative technologies that will enhance academic advisement, student engagement, and student support services including holistic student support and career pathways.
