Student retention is the responsibility of all stakeholders. Post-secondary education needs to evolve to the changing needs of students. What worked in previous generations will not work for the students of the digital age.

The responsibility of student retention is all employees' duty n responsibility. The student's future and education are first and foremost, however their tuition pays the bills.
I learned that its all about numbers. And, we all have to do are part at our level to encourage students to complete their commitment to success. We need to inspire them in the classroom and hold their hand in financial aid and student services.
Student retention fall on everyone at the school. Instructors are with the students the most and a large responsibility lies with them to guide the student who are not doing well. I found as a new teacher that happened early in the term and it was allot to keep up with but it was necessary to keep the students up to date and passing. Lots of missing assignments that were needed on order to pass the class.
Retention is an effort put on by every department on campus. Not just one department
I agree with the statement that retention can improve by making changes in the campus environment.
Retention is everyone's responsibility and there should be a culture of student engagement throughout each student's life at the school. Going forward, I plan to help faculty develop engaging classes and find more ways to connect to students and help them feel connected.
I learned the importance of being honest with students and staff to help with retention.
Many factor contribute to retention and attrition.
I have learned about common pitfalls that result from lack of understanding by a school's multiple departments and their respective goals. The mindset and pressure on retention efforts for admissions is not the same as that for faculty, or that for student services. It is important to recognize everybody's role and understand how to communicate our efforts and limitations with each other. Students need to see that cohesive message coming from the institution as large.
I intend to push for increased transparency and communication efforts, as well as cross-training to better understand each other and support our students together.
Retention is a team effort. From recruitment to Faculty, everyone plays a role in the retention of students.
Student retention is the responsibility of all staff members.
