Following the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) 2025 Annual Conference in Nashville, TN, UH Hilo Chancellor Bonnie D. Irwin, along with Director of Institutional Research Jennifer Stotter and Registrar Chelsea Kay-Wong, attended AASCU’s Student Success Equity Imperative (SSEI) Impact and Sustainability Summit on Nov. 17-18.
Chancellor Irwin was asked to participate in the presidential leadership panel that opened the SSEI summit.
SSEI is an initiative hosted by AASCU and funded by the Gates Foundation. It’s a cohort-based learning community that builds connection, accountability, and shared learning among institutions. Campus teams include students, faculty, staff, administrators, and senior leaders, all working together to create conditions where every student can thrive.
“It was a great meeting, sharing strategies for success with colleagues and learning from other campuses,” says Chancellor Irwin.
