Effective Retention

This class reinforced my ideas of implementing more non-class related activities in order to get the students more involved and incorporate a better sense of community.  I feel that if they just come to class, and aren't involved any other way it's more likely that they will leave.  They need to feel a connection to the school.  Implement activities that are relevant to the industry also remind them why they are here.  It's easy to lose sight of them if you struggling in other areas of your life.  I look forward to taking more of these classes and gathering ideas.

Student non-class related activities can be a big help in retaining students and contributing to a sense of connectivity to the campus and community. The challenge presented is finding faculty or instructors who are willing to be a part of this process. It is possible but NOT ALL campuses have full time staff that can commit to being involve in campus activities it really does require a collective effort from the campus faculty and staff. Every term is different so keeping the momentum is challenging.
