I was introduced to a few ideas in this unit that I found to be interesting and "workable" in enhancing our existing retention program. I would love to implement a "lunch and learn" series where issues like stress management, financial management, parenting skills and health topics can be addressed in an informal setting. It would also be nice to have guest speakers at these events that highlight various professions. I think students would appreciate this time to come together, if only for a short time once a month.
