Amplifying Excellence: Enhancing Student Success and Retention at HBCUs

Student retention and persistence are increasingly vital to the enrollment health of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). However, with increased interest in HBCUs and the ever-evolving needs of incoming students, it's crucial to develop proactive strategies that capitalize on opportunities for retention success and provide support for students as they progress toward attaining their degrees.
 
Watch this webinar to explore the latest data on the needs and expectations of first-year students at HBCUs. See how you can leverage non-cognitive, motivational data to strengthen campus processes and strategies to support your student retention and persistence towards degree attainment.
 
You will learn how to:
 
  • Incorporate non-cognitive indicators to identify which students (in their newest incoming cohort) have the highest risk indicators and are most receptive to campus support.
  • Increase student yield by using motivational data to connect with students before they begin their academic journey.
  • Capture critical student data earlier for more effective and impactful outreach.
  • Assess students' receptivity to various institutional support—and match them with relevant resources that will address their needs.
  • Help more students persist and complete their educational goals.
