Improving Retention in a Time of Enrollment Decline
Supporting students with effective retention strategies
As enrollment trends continue to shift, student retention and completion have become more important than ever. While larger institutions are seeing positive application numbers, many public and regional colleges face challenges in helping their learners reach the finish line.
Nearly four out of every 10 learners nationwide stop out annually, so the ability to build a student-ready campus is critical for institutional stability and learner success. Whether you’re looking to refine your current retention model or are just beginning to lay the groundwork for a new initiative, this virtual forum — hosted by The Chronicle of Higher Education and sponsored by InsideTrack — provides actionable insights for your team.
Hear from panelists from Montclair State University, Syracuse University and Western Illinois University as they share how to:
- Shift from an institutional to a student-centered lens by prioritizing learner motivation and the self-efficacy required for persistence
- Utilize proactive data and early warning indicators to identify and support students before they slip through the cracks
- Cultivate a campus-wide sense of belonging by making resources, events and programs easily accessible to all students
- Engage students holistically by addressing non-academic hurdles particularly relating to basic needs insecurity
