Increasing enrollment & retention for priority populations including Black, transfer, male, and first gen students
Students are stressed. Staffs are stretched. Could building student belonging in a new way be the magic formula to reduce these challenges and simultaneously grow enrollment and achieve retention goals?
In this panel discussion leaders from within the California State University system – Dr. David Dufault Hunter, AVP for Enrollment Services at California State University, Northridge; and Dr. Dwayne Cantrell, Associate Vice President and Chief Enrollment Officer, California State University, Bakersfield – will share their perspectives, along with Dr. Christopher Quinn, COO, Nearpeer.
They’ll discuss the importance of belonging and talk about their experiences partnering with Nearpeer, an innovative peer engagement platform that meets students where they are, requires minimal staff time, and is proven to work based on the largest randomized study of its kind.
The leaders will share their insights on the most significant gains they’ve achieved – including enrollment and retention increases for key student populations: students of color, first gen, transfer, and male students.
This is a live webinar hosted by AACRAO and serves as an encore presentation of the packed session at the recent AACRAO SEM conference in Seattle, including an update on student impact.
