Our university campus recently opened in this area. We are in the process of identifying the interests of our students in order to develop activities and improve our programs and services. This course has provided me with useful information in improving retention. We could implement the following: · Improve the tutoring services by assigning qualified senior students to freshman students. · A mentoring program. · On site career fairs including inviting professional organizations and professionals who have demonstrated success in the field to share their experiences. · Recognition awards including academic excellence, individual academic achievement, and perfect attendance. · Formal recognition for students who volunteer to bring students to school.
