They responded with written essays describing their experiences and perspectives. Findings The contributed pieces in this second installment are collected together and a variety of ways the academic library engage with "student success" are discussed. Initiatives include high-impact practices, fostering academic rapport and creating a sense of belonging, experiential learning and creative spaces and professional development. Originality/value These examples help to observe what is happening throughout higher education and see potential paths forward at the institutions engaged in this work.
