| Description: | "Perhaps the most overlooked and underappreciated resource available to us are the students themselves. It is far too common for campus officials to spend an inordinate amount of time and energy developing strategies to improve the first college year without ever asking for student involvement. Not only can students provide valuable information to inform our work, but they can also be highly effective partners in the delivery of programs and services." The posting below looks at student retention, particularly in the first year of college. It is by Mary Stuart Hunter, director of administration at the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition at the University of South Carolina-Columbia. |
