Description
One of the most economical ways to help retain students in higher education is mentoring. Many colleges and universities are investigating how the implementation of a mentoring program can help increase overall student retention for at-risk populations. Mentoring has been documented as a way to enhance student retention by matching an experienced person with someone who is new to the college.
In this workshop, participants will learn the key components in developing a successful mentoring program on their campus. With university and college budgets tightening due to lack of funds, college administrators are exploring ways to develop cost effective measures to increase student retention, without killing the budget. This session will particularly benefit those who are interested in developing or enhancing their mentoring program with the express intent of increasing retention and persistence.
Both presenters have multiple years’ experience in developing mentoring programs and have worked with several institutions on how to enhance their mentoring programs. The presenters have conducted multiple presentations on mentoring at various conferences across the country.
