getting to know your students and having them understand that we are here for them is very important. Giving them hope and staying active with each person while they are in school is important.
I have learned that all departments play an essential role in student retention, I believe it is requires team effort and open communication among the staff and students.
Retention is the responsibility of everyone. It must be a part of the institution's culture, having everyone a meaningful part their each student success.Retention can be mastered by having management doing the right thing and having staff and instructors doing what is right to retain each student. By learning what brought them and why they are here is ultimately the underlying factor that is missed which is to make a better life and living conditions for themselves.
Retention is important for success of students. All faulty involved on campus should support students in meaningful ways to build retention.

Although often retention efforts are "housed" in one particular place, retention is the the job of all. Of course this means it is quick to fall through the cracks. Creating a culture is different than assigning tasks to be fulfilled. Too often lists are created to "check off" without listening to the needs that are present.
I have learned to not think of retention as a goal but to make every interaction count and by doing the right things the right way every day and having the right people in the right place at the right time is where the focus should be while providing high-level customer service to everyone.
I've learned keeping in touch with students especially the high risk students by weekly check ins. Also putting myself out there on campus and engaging with students while passing constantly reminding them I'm here to help.
