Linking Relationships to Retention | Origin: EL201

It seems exceptionally obvious that students who feel "cared for"or "encouraged" will stay in a tough program of study and strive to complete it. No surprises in the most effective ways to build that strong working "allince." Seems so simple in the 3 things that are most helpful, Point of Contact, Positive and procative contact, and Responsiveness when help or advice is needed. But here is the challenge: All of the staff and faculty must really behave in this manner and not just talk thebtalk.

The more the students are actively engaged, the more they will retain and learn. They are seeking "do-it" activities and want my feedback on their efforts.
