Attention Equals Retention

Thanks, John. All of these are tried and true strategies that you should keep doing and keep improving. A great idea I came accross at a school in Florida was a program that allowed students to recognize the contributions of other students as well as the contributions of faculty members. The school held an awards luncheon / dinner with a guest speaker each term. It really went over well.

Thanks, Karen. You have a lot of responsibilities. Do you ever find that your FT IT responsibilities make completing your responsibilities at the school more difficult? If so, what do you do to make sure you can give your all in both places?
