The Retention and Graduation Challenge from Provost Elizabeth D. Capaldi

Office of the Vice President for Education Partnerships as a new reference and resource for future school partnerships.

Saenz named vice provost of undergraduate education Delia Saenz has been named ASU’s new vice provost for undergraduate education, effective Sept. 17. In her new role, Saenz will spearhead the university’s retention efforts.

Work Group Formed: An Integrated Work Group for Native American Student Success has been formed. This is a collaborative workgroup of staff from the Multicultural Student Services (MSS), American Indian Studies (AII), and American Indian Student Support Services (AISSS). The Work Group was started through the leadership of Alonzo Jones of MSS. Amongst many topics discussed, one idea we worked on is reaching out to students who have not reenrolled for the Fall semester. We made phone calls to students during the summer months. We were able to have some of the students reenroll and found out some students were transferring to other institutions. Some of the other ideas discussed are early warning & mid-term intervention, proactive effort to reenroll students for the following semester, tracking the entire freshmen students, initiatives to enhance social/cultural/academic integration, enhance existing programs, outreach to students in residence halls through RAs, host extra-curricular activities, Fall semester efforts to have students take ASU101/academic coaching/orientations, and a peer coach/mentoring program.

For continued efforts or the next steps from the Retreat, I think the Integrated Group would be a good working to continue the retention efforts. We can add a few more representatives from all campuses. Your thoughts?
