Faculty are an integral component of student orientation.

Credibilily in the institution is critical to student retention.

Students are much more consumer friendly than in years past.

Retention of students doesn't have to be accepted as a "natural process"?

As someone who is not very familiar with the financiial aid aspects of an institution, I found all of this imformative. 

Informal and formal orientations are usually the best way to get a new hire familiar with the institutions. 

The multiple hurdle strategy is an important part of the hiring process. 

The primary thing is utilization of multiple recruitment methods. 

Creating a checklist KSAO is important PRIOR to hiring and after the interviews.

Professional development is key to maintaining high quality instruction and performance for faculty.
