�Student persistence is a matter of individual choice. As students consider their experience with a college or university, they unknowingly are using a value map. That is to say, how does the value of the educational experience compare to the costs associated with that experience (e.g., financial sacrifice, academic struggles, balancing school with personal obligations, emotional stress)? When the cost is higher than the perceived value, student departure is probable. Therefore, the focus of retention efforts should be more on increasing value than decreasing the costs.�

Dr. Jim Black

Webinar Presenter

Overview

With so many convoluted variables leading to student attrition�many of which reside outside the sphere of institutional control and influence�it is difficult to know where to invest scarce resources. Unfortunately, it is far too common to find that colleges and universities have invested in retention efforts without the benefit of data or only in marginal programs and activities. The results of such efforts are modest at best.

To yield significant retention outcomes, any institution must strike at the heart of the educational experience�the academic enterprise. How students learn, the services that support their learning, the availability of learning opportunities, and the relevance of learning experiences are all central to academic integration and ultimately, student success. In this webinar, proven models for each will be shared. Furthermore, strategies for engaging the academic community with these models will be discussed.

Objectives

Participants will be introduced to academic-focused retention models that can be applied at their respective institutions. Each model is a takeaway that can be used to engage faculty and the academic leadership in a dialog designed to enhance the learning experience for their students.

Who should attend?

Provosts, academic VPs, academic deans, associate deans, department chairs, faculty, and administrators interested in revolutionizing the academic experience for the students they serve.
