The challenge
Moving retention at a level where every half-point gain is harder to achieve than the last; sustaining momentum after achieving initial success.
The approach
Institution-specific analytics, paired predictor analysis for precise student group identification, targeted interventions (exploratory student odyssey program, small financial barrier removal), and embedded data use in daily workflows alongside vendor partnership with adaptive responsiveness.
In their words
“When everybody told us six years ago, you're never going to be able to move a needle from 81 to 82% at a state school, this fall we are at 86.4%.”Dr. John RindyAssistant Vice President for Career and Academic Progress, Slippery Rock University
