Overview

Every faculty and administrator in higher education plays a critical role in the retention efforts on campus, but are we able to articulate our impact? By targeting specific populations that matter most on your campus, you can create meaningful retention efforts to move your entire retention rate upward. Focusing on the right group of students and the right services to offer are key to the successful implementation of any retention efforts. With budgets tight, retention is a hot topic on every campus and your role cannot go unnoticed. If you are not already active in the retention efforts, it’s time to begin to focus and forge ahead with your specific, tangible and quantifiable impact. If you are active in your institution's retention efforts, join us to gain insight on how to focus those efforts in order to achieve the greatest impact.

Objectives

Participants will learn:

Ways to identify a specific cohort (e.g., males, minorities, commuters) on which to focus retention efforts

How to articulate the results of the initiatives made for both the cohort and for overall retention of students
How to use the results to gain leverage in budgeting for programs/services
