With demands for accountability increasing and campuses trying to
fulfill their missions and serve more students with reduced financial

Helping students succeed is both a financial imperative and a professional
and ethical obligation. Panelists reframe how to think about retention
and offer new approaches and strategies based on best practices and
empirical research.
