Retention Matters

It should be obvious the importance of retention. Most schools factor in that some students are not cut out for academia. I reality, our business should be about helping those who least expect the earn a college degree. This should be the challenge or goal for all schools. If we are reaching out to them, then we must be doing something right.

This is clearly the case in our school. We certainly do not get the proverbial cream of the crop, but what we do get, we can polish and prepare for their chosen field.

Concerning retention- this evening I was confronted by a student who I had previously called due to a couple of absences in a class. He had discussed this with the primary instructor via e-mail, but was very appreciative of the call because it reinforced a feeling of confidence, knowing that I cared enough to call him on the phone.
