Increasing Student Retention Through Great Teaching
Free ACUE Webinar | March 26, 2025, 3 PM
We have all heard the mantra “student retention is everyone’s job”, which often means that it’s nobody’s job and/or that nobody truly understands how their daily work impacts student retention. Faculty know that students who have meaningful relationships with at least one faculty or staff member have a greater chance of being successful, but what is the real impact of great teaching on student success? This webinar will bring together diverse faculty for a vibrant conversation about the impact of strong teaching and pedagogy on the real lives of students.
