College student retention continues to be a vexing issue for colleges and universities. There are some very simple steps that a college or university can take to help students persist until they reach academic and/or personal goal attainment. This book is intended to give the reader the necessary tools, for all types of educational institutions and delivery systems, to implement a retention formula and success model that will actually help students meet their academic and personal goals and thus increase college retention and graduation rates. Regardless of the academic ability, socioeconomic status, gender, first generation, ethnicity of students, the retention formula and model presented will help each and every college type increase student retention and graduation rates.
Dr. Alan Seidman is the Executive Director of the Center for the Study of College Student Retention (www.cscsr.org) and Professor Emeritus in the Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership and founding editor of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice.
