Retention Gains Through Centralizing Support for a Decentralized Outreach Model

Focuses on the challenges of a decentralized institution and ways to centralize efforts through the creation of resources, toolkits, and data analyses that bring partners together and encourage information sharing. We will share the strategies that we used to raise our retention rate to its highest ever and lessons learned from the process. We organize our insights into three sections and focus in turn on collaboration, coordination, and communication around data and strategy. We expect that many others will relate to these challenges and be interested in enhancing centralized supports for reenrollment efforts. Therefore, we hope that these strategies for collaborating, coordinating, and communicating around retention efforts will be useful to our student success colleagues in creating campus buy-in and retention gains at their own institutions.
