It's impressive that they take this responsibility so seriously. How did you achieve this? What's the consequence if they don't call?

Does the student success instructor actually teach a success course? Is their only focus or do they have other responsibilities?

It's great to hear about a system that works. I hope from time to time you tell your colleagues how much you appreciate them.

Please tell us about the composition and functions of the curriculum committee, James. How many members, who, how often do you meet, who sets the agenda, how do make decisions, etc.?

Presumably, someone at the school already has the phone number for each student. Why do you ask them for the information again? How many students volunteer the information? Do you match these numbers with the ones on file?

What sort of "intelligence" about school operations is uncovered in the calls made by the Dean and Associate Dean? Has your institution made any significant changes as a result of these calls? Has attendance improved?
