The era of
“on-demand” has started. Supply is no longer the determinant and demand has
become the most important factor. One can notice this change in the university
as well. Universities are reflecting the keyword “student success” in their
policies to respond to the needs of the students and improve the quality of
university education.
The term
“student success” and relevant programs can be easily found in American
universities. Most of the universities are currently running “student success center”.
It provides general support for students to be successful in both academics and
university life. SKKU was the first Korean university to open Student Success
Center. SKKU is the only university that has a physical center to provide
student success related support but other Korean universities are also applying
the idea to support their students.
Sanghoon BAE,
the Director of SKKU Student Success Center emphasized that it is necessary for
each university to clarify their own definition of “student success”. “They
must discover their characteristics by using data. Universities should listen
to the comments of companies that have hired the students and search for a
proper model and objective for student success. Furthermore, this information
should be shared with the administrative offices, departments and professors.”
