- Summary:
-
Components of a student retention program at Eastern Michigan University are examined; for each effort to improve retention, project objectives and design, results, and recommendations are presented. Retention initiatives, decided upon as a result of a campus-wide mobilization of effort, include: a student-focused orientation system, a fast track program that consists of a one-day, individualized opportunity for freshmen students and their parents; an orientation pre-session (before fall classes) that involves program modules such as academic success, careers, personal choices and changes, and campus involvement; an ongoing orientation course for first-time college students that is designed to improve student adjustment and to enhance retention of high-risk groups; residence halls for freshmen that provide special support; a research project to identify freshmen with potential adjustment problems; an academic department retention followup project that determines students' intent to return to the university for the next year; a program that provides incentives for early registration; a project to identify the benefits of student involvement in the campus community; a student leadership development project; and a staff development program that emphasizes institutional policies.
