Committee Charge and Membership

As described in Reed College’s mission statement, “The goal of the Reed education is that students learn and demonstrate rigor and independence in their habits of thought, inquiry and expression.” The Student Success Committee was charged to examine the student experience from the student perspective to better understand campus narratives, practices, and policies that either encourage or undermine students’ ability to achieve their academic and personal goals during and after their time at Reed.

The Student Success Plan responds to the Committee’s conclusions and the challenges presented by these themes.
