This thesis aims to understand the organizational and professional foundations and dynamics that underpin student success. Various political, economic, and social issues justify the interest in this topic. In fact, student success, particularly in universities, has been at the center of public higher education policies promoted by successive governments over the last few decades, especially in the sections devoted to universities. Today's organizational landscape in universities includes a wide variety of manifestations of a more or less assertive desire to integrate the objective of student success into the organization. These developments are partially known, for example in the form of research and, in particular, theses that document the arrival of new professionals linked to pedagogy. We will therefore seek to continue describing the new measures, actions, and even restructuring that are being implemented, but above all to identify the changes that are or are not taking place in the professional practices of those involved. Based on observation of situations, it is possible to integrate and articulate three major analytical dimensions: organization, professionals, and activity.
