Abstract:
|
In 2015, advisors in the College of Liberal Arts at Texas A&M wanted to find ways to increase their first year retention rates and 4-year graduation rates. However, many of our departments have large student populations and some departments had an above average advisor-to-student ratio? In this presentation, we will discuss the programmatic efforts and intrusive advising practices that several advising units enacted in order to: reach consistent above average retention rates, improving graduation rates, aiding students in their understanding of educational opportunities in and out of the classroom, and strengthening the holistic advising services we provide to our students. |
