The Retention & Persistence Institute provides participants with an understanding of recent research from our newly released report, "Completing College: Assessing Graduation Rates I came away from Sylvia's session determined to review some of the programs we have on campus that are maybe not pursued as vigorously as they were in the past. And, happily, when I got back to campus, there was a new plan on my desk to conduct a process that will allow us to do that.at Four-Year Institutions" and the latest data on retention from other leading scholars in the field. Participants will learn how to reframe retention discussions on their campuses and gain insight into:

  • New research on retention
  • Campus practices that promote student success and graduation
