“Our graduation rates speak volumes about our goals for UA Cossatot students,” said Vice Chancellor of Academics, Dr. Maria Parker. “We have concentrated our efforts on retaining students and hands-on advising. We want our students to be comfortable with their degree plan and have a clear path about how to accomplish their goals.”
