Dear Friends of the First-Year Experience Program,
This email is to inform you of new leadership roles/responsibilities and points of contact
within the FYE Program as of September 1, 2017.
Dr. Susan Colorado-Burt is now serving as the Director of the UT System Funded LEAD
(Leadership, Engagement, Academics, and Dedication) Student Success Program. This program
aims to increase student success and retention by creating targeted programming for
academically at-risk students at early stages of their academic career. The program will
consist of a LEAD I and LEAD II Program. LEAD I works with incoming first-time freshmen
via a Summer Success Academy and intense academic and social support programming
throughout year one. LEAD II works with first-year students placed on academic probation
or warning at the conclusion of their first-year via a Summer Success Academy that bridges
year 1 and year 2 as well as intense academic and social support programming throughout
year two. Please contact Dr. Colorado-Burt for any questions related to the LEAD Student
Success Program at 458-7511 or
