How do Waves Define Student Success?

School Student's quote
Seaver College "A student is following their goals and has become successful in their area of career but also friendship and faith."
PGBS "Having a fulfilling career while playing a meaningful role in the society."
GSEP "Student success does not speak to me just academically, but being able to achieve goals emotionally, physically, and mentally with other students as well."
CSOL "The end result of learning and growing at a university and being able to provide the knowledge you gained there into your career."
SPP "Student success, the ability to thrive both academically and professionally both within and outside of school."
