Recruiting and Retaining Students

In the face of declining enrollment and increased expectations from policymakers and the public, colleges and universities have increasingly tasked department chairs with recruiting new students and retaining who were already at their institutions. Chairs have always scheduled classes and managed faculty: What else was there to do? A lot, it turns out.

This 75-minute seminar on June 15, at 11 a.m. ET will explore how and why department chairs should recruit students and put in place systems that support them to remain enrolled and on track to complete their degrees.

You will learn:

• Strategies to lead departments to student-friendly curriculum and scheduling.
• Ways to create a departmental culture and shared practices supporting student success among faculty, staff, and the students themselves.
• Opportunities to leverage campus resources to help departments take care of their communities of students, staff, and faculty.

Panelist:

• Allison Calhoun Brown, Senior Vice President for Student Success, Georgia State University

Moderator:

• Sara Lipka, Assistant Managing Editor, The Chronicle of Higher Education
