The Starfish Team
The Penn State Starfish Team works to develop an integrated network of student support across the University. Team members meet regularly and collaborate on implementation decisions.
Coordinated by the Division of Undergraduate Studies and under the project leadership of Associate Dean for Advising David R. Smith (drs46@psu.edu), the Starfish Team includes members from units that have invested in building and maintaining the Penn State implementation of Starfish for their areas. To submit a ticket or request or to share feedback with the Starfish Team, please use one of our contact forms.
