Pre-Enrollment Strategies to Improve Retention and Engagement

Student Retention Early Planning

Recruitment & Retention newsletterIt’s generally agreed that the sooner you engage incoming students in your retention program, the better your results will be.

That would naturally lead you to assume that Day One – the first day of school – would be the optimum time to start.

But you’d be wrong, according to Matt Stillman, Ph.D., Director of Enrollment Analysis at Southern Oregon University.

His experience reveals that you can achieve still better results by starting before Day One – engaging and involving students from their very first contacts with your institution.

Stillman shared his successes in this information-packed, 90-minute seminar focusing on critical elements of an “early engagement” strategy.


Key points include:

  • Sources of student dissatisfaction and attrition.
  • How to lay the groundwork for retention as early as the recruiting stage.
  • Retention-boosting summer programs for incoming freshmen.
  • Important modifications to orientation programs.
  • How civic engagement can promote retention.
  • The benefits of diversity training.

  • Admissions officers

  • Directors and deans of admission
