2009 TG Student Success Symposia Agenda

2009 TG Student Success Symposia Agenda

Thursday, June 4, 2009 — Video Conference

3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time
Public policy for four-year colleges and universities is changing dramatically. The demographic changes taking place in many regions of the nation, coupled with shifting state funding policies, strongly influence the agendas of many public institutions. At the state level, many coordinating boards include graduation rates as part of the algorithms that determine levels of state support. At the federal level, persistence and graduation rates are increasingly viewed as indicators of institutional effectiveness. Within these contexts, this discussion will examine:

What we know about student and institutional factors associated with student persistence

The effectiveness of campus-based policy interventions targeted at enhancing student persistence

How institutions may be organized in a manner that enhances student persistence and graduation

Participants will also be asked to examine how their own campuses are organized to enhance student persistence and success.
