Abstract:
|
It's a Beautiful Day to Graduate: Strategies to Help Students Finish
How can advisors help students cross the finish line? There is a lot of attention paid to student retention and enrollment, especially from the first to second year, but what about students who get very close to graduation, but don't earn a degree? The goal of this interactive presentation is to share three strategies our college implemented to help students graduate. First, we'll review data on graduation and implications for students attending college but not graduating. Then, we'll share strategies we employed: holding advisor 'graduation parties,' mailing 'you're so close' postcards, and offering small, college-level completion scholarships. Participants will leave with at least one idea they can use to help their 'oh-so-close' students graduate. |
