ACTIVITY 3
Strengthening Student Retention Through Academic Innovations and Student Services Which Support Academic Success
The purpose of this Activity is to increase student retention through quality academic advising and supplemental instruction for the First-Year Experience program, comprehensive counseling and disability services, and learning communities, which integrate the curriculum with co-curricular activities. This Activity is predicated on services and programs to help students overcome the primary reasons for student attrition such as inadequate academic preparation and the lack of a supportive network for the collegiate experience. The ultimate aims of this activity are:
- To improve student learning and persistence to graduation.
- To cultivate social, leadership, and civic opportunities that foster student development.
- To encourage lifelong learning and overall wellness.
This Activity will be lead and supported through a collaborative effort between Academic Support Services and Student Affairs.
