The Finish Line Game spurs personal and institutional development and growth through conversation in a comfortable environment where participants think about how to offer holistic support to ensure the success of every student.​

Using a game format empowers colleges to:

• Establish a shared understanding of the barriers to student success and equity.
• Help participants broaden their understanding of the college's role in student success.
• Create a relaxed environment that facilitates open, respectful conversation about challenging topics.
• Name and discuss common myths about student success.
• Inspire participants' creativity and engage their critical thinking skills to generate ideas and questions about institutional capacities.
