You can help your students reach their fullest potential
while lowering your college's dropout rate.
Today more students than ever are attending college. Although the increase in post-secondary enrollment is a laudable achievement, the attrition rate for college students is not as impressive. When a student drops out of college everyone loses - the student, the college, and their future communities. Current research indicates students lack of success in college is not due to their academic ability; rather students often feel disconnected from school, are not actively engaged in their learning, and struggle to understand the purpose of their school experiences. If students are to enjoy academic, social, and personal success in college, they must believe in their ability to succeed, be actively engaged in the teaching and learning process, and see some viable connection between what they learn today and who they want to become tomorrow. When these experiences are absent, aspirations flounder and achievement declines. To help all college students reach their fullest potential, colleges must work towards creating an environment that supports students' hopes and dreams and help them take the necessary steps for a successful future.
