Purpose
This paper aims to demonstrate the variety of ways institutions and their libraries approach student success both conceptionally and operationally.

The contributed pieces are collected together and display a shared interest in defining “student success,” aligning strategic planning with student success initiatives and establishing (and assessing) strong infrastructure to support student success.
Originality/value
These examples help us observe what is happening throughout higher education and see potential paths forward at our own institutions engaged in this work.
