Wichita State University is committed to providing the best education and resources for our students, but we know that student persistence is an ongoing challenge for many institutions.

That’s why we’ve developed goals and an action plan to support our students and foster their success. The Student Success and Persistence (SSP) initiative, which falls under the umbrella of Strategic Enrollment Management, includes comprehensive and holistic tactics to support our students throughout their academic journeys.
