Retention of our students and supporting them on their path to graduation is everyone’s job on some level! With that in mind, the university has reconstituted its School of Graduate and Professional Programs Retention, Persistence and Completion Committee in recent months, with a new structure which includes an administrative group and a working group, along with new membership to help revitalize and refocus efforts. If you have ideas for retention that you believe could be applied across all SGPP programs without significant cost, and would like to share, please contact the committee co-chairs listed below.
The new charter provides additional information on roles and processes. The committee is co-chaired by Dr. Michael McMahon, Vice President for Enrollment Management, and Andrew LaMere, Director of Adult Undergraduate Programs.
