Abstract:

GMIT provide a range of student engagement and teaching development opportunities to support retention and to empower learners to be successful at third level and in their future careers. GMIT has faced a number of challenges including: supporting students as they transition into higher education; retaining students on STEM programmes; developing the teaching community; an increasing demand for academic writing and maths support; research and academic integrity; and the need to support students as they transition out of higher education and into employment. In 2015, in response to these challenges, GMIT agreed strategic priorities and assigned resources to develop initiatives across various functions and academic departments.

This paper will present the student success model that emerged in GMIT in 2019, following the collaboration of multiple functions and discipline groups. This paper will discuss initiatives in GMIT that enable student success, support student engagement, promote employability and the professional development of teaching in higher education.
