75-Minute Recording of Audio Online Seminar • Originally Broadcast April 16, 2008 • $189

Student retention models are not one-size-fits-all. Many overlook community colleges’ need to help students become transfer-ready and address foundation skill deficits. This online seminar addresses tried-and-true retention approaches for community colleges in particular. The seminar makes the case for frontloading resources, showing how retaining students now leads to many benefits later.

During this program, Dr. Justice reviews how to maximize your success center’s role in retention, design niche programs to target key population segments (adult learner, honors, fast-track, and others), and focus on basic skills transformation.

Knowledge benefits for you:
• Get solid grounding in a key enrollment management philosophy
• Learn how to focus on retention, rather than new-student recruitment, to boost enrollment
• Understand why you must improve first-year student placement and address math and writing deficits early on
• Discover how to use institutional research to validate retention strategies up front
• Review how to target and deliver resources to important student segments
• Discuss the role of your student success center in supporting all students
• Receive handouts you can share and refer to later

• Retention officers
• Scheduling coordinators
• Academic deans and directors
• Deans of student services
• Vice presidents and other executive officers of instruction
• Institutional research staff
• Fiscal planning officers
