Council

Clovis, NM — September 24, 2021 — EAB, which harnesses the collective power of more
than 2,100 educational institutions to identify and apply proven practices that help
education leaders achieve their goals, has named Dr. Mindy Watson from Clovis Community
College to the company’s Student Success Innovation Council (SSIC). Watson is one
of 23 new SSIC members who have agreed to serve one-year terms on the council to network
with likeminded leaders at other institutions and work collaboratively to drive EAB’s
student success strategy and product roadmap.
Now entering it ninth year, the SSIC was formed by EAB to gather the collective experience
and expertise of student success leaders from across the U.S. Council members will
help EAB set its research agenda and continue to refine the company’s market-leading
student success management systems, Navigate and Starfish. Those systems link administrators,
faculty, staff, advisors, and students in a coordinated care network to support students
from enrollment to graduation and beyond.
As a member of the SSIC, Watson will draw on her 16 years of experience working in
higher education to help identify at-risk students and to coordinate cross-campus
resources to keep those students on track to achieve their educational goals. Watson
is excited about the opportunity to work with EAB’s Student Success Innovation Council.
“We have the opportunity to shape the direction of innovation in this industry for
the success of our students. Being selected for chance to see the work from idea-conception
through to implementation is a unique and experience.”
