The presentation discusses academic standards, exploring the pieces of information needed to assist a student in academic difficulty. The academic standards policy needs to be clearly written and explained to students. Resources, available to the student in the school catalog, need to be explained. The departmental advisors need to be involved in student goals for the purpose of connection and ownership. The training of advisors helps them see the depth to which factors in the student s life impacts education.
Tracking enables the school to monitor student progress.
In this roundtable discussion we will provide an overview of how the campus came together to develop the program, the incentive we used to encourage students to come in for advising, and how the program worked this first year. Participants will be asked to discuss programs at their school which aim to increase the retention of new freshmen students. Higher education is faced with a series of challenges regarding the services delivered to and retention of various ethnic populations. This session will explore generational issues, events and factors that distinguish generations, the way that we view the world and the way the world views each of us.
