Every student starts their college journey with their eyes on the prize—graduation. But for those who have faced one too many obstacles along the way, that journey may have been cut short. For universities, connecting back with these hopeful graduates can boost retention rates and enhance student success—but how do we reengage these students, and how do we break down the barriers keeping them from putting on that cap and gown?
In this webinar series, we’ll be diving into the leading practices, effective interventions, and successful support systems that bring back adult students and get them across that finish line.
Featuring our special guest Ruru Rusmin, the Assistant Dean of Faculty Development and Technology at CUNY School of Professional Studies, our first webinar will dive into the many ways she’s impacted retention rates at her own university and helped struggling students overcome roadblocks.
Gain a deeper understanding of where students are leaving the enrollment funnel and what obstacles are keeping them from finishing their degree. Addressing common roadblocks such as pace of learning, credit for prior learning, speed of admission, and student support systems, you’ll learn exactly where and how to spend your time and resources to make the biggest impact on stop-out re-engagement. Having re-enrolled over 27,000 students, myFootpath is helping your university reconnect with the nearly 40.4 million stop-outs through data, resources, and interventions that will bring them back.
