I have really enjoyed and have benefitted from the work of the Collaborative. I am not sure we would be this far along in our efforts without the support of the Collaborative and its groups.

There is so much good work happening, a lot that I think others [external partners and states] could learn from. I’d love to see the Collaborative elevate our efforts even more.

The collaborative has allowed voices beyond high-level administrators such as presidents and provosts to be in the conversation and help shape supports and outcomes for students. I know I feel more valued than before.

If this work continues, I think there will be strong success within 3 to 5 years at a statewide level. The KYSSC effort is demonstrating steady progress but there is still work to be done and our students deserve for us to keep it up.

The exChange is super helpful for me to follow updates or find resources for our SBN work. I’ve accessed it many times to see what resources are available like best practices and current programs.
