A Data-Driven Approach to Increase Student Success: There’s No Silver Bullet…But, There is a Silver Process
Wednesday, October 21st ~ 1-3:00 EDT
“Significantly increasing the success of college students is absolutely possible. It begins by answering two questions: what’s wrong and why? Data is the key, but is dependent on creativity, strong leadership, and follow through. We should not be satisfied until we’ve increased the graduation rate by at least 20 percent. The viability of our society depends on it.”
~ Ken González, Ph.D.
