Faculty Roles in Student Retention
Taking Student Retention Seriously
Syracuse University’s Distinguished University Professor in the School of Education, Vincent Tinto, has conducted research and written widely about student retention issues and the role that faculty members can play, specializing on student sucess and the impact of learning communities on student growth and attainment. He recently served as the chair of the Higher Education program at SU.
On Dr. Tinto’s web page are several papers and conference speeches that can be downloaded including one titled Student Retention: What Next? and Taking Student Retention Seriously: Rethinking the First Year of College which may be of particular interest to faculty.
