With a strong preference for practical majors and a desire for tangible returns on their investment, today's students are looking for guidance that connects their education to real-world success. To support this need, we secured funding to offer free career assessments through our Career Center. While a $15 fee may seem minor, we found it to be a significant barrier for many students. By eliminating this cost, we’ve empowered more students to explore career paths, align their academic choices, and gain clarity on their future goals. The results? Reduced major switching, increased motivation, and higher retention rates. Tune in to learn why investing in career assessments isn’t just about saving students money—it’s about giving them the confidence and direction they need to make the most of their education and future careers.…

Midterm Grades: A Policy That Drives Student Success" In this episode, we discuss how a student-led initiative transformed our campus by introducing a mandatory midterm grade reporting policy. Prior to this policy, many students were unaware of their academic standing until final grades were posted—when it was too late to make meaningful changes. Thanks to the advocacy of our student-body officers, faculty now submit midterm grades for every student, creating a proactive system for student success. We explore the wide-reaching benefits of this policy, from giving students clarity about their performance to providing the institution with valuable data to support retention efforts. Learn how academic advisors, faculty, and peer mentors use midterm grade data to offer personalized guidance, connect students with resources like tutoring and study workshops, and create action plans for improvement. This episode highlights how midterm grades are more than just a progress check—they’re a cornerstone of proactive engagement that empowers students to take charge of their success and fosters a supportive campus culture.…

Students responded by selecting one of three options that best describe their current state, triggering automated replies tailored to their needs. For students facing significant challenges, we ensured personalized follow-up by the appropriate office on campus We also discuss how the system stored responses in a Google spreadsheet for easy tracking, allowing us to provide targeted outreach to those who needed it most.

In volume one of ASCEND to Higher Retention Rates , we discussed the value and power of having all new students complete a pre-arrival questionnaire (Tippets & Kirby, 2022). This allows us to capture lots of important insights about a student’s background, motivations, and commitment to higher education. Using the data from this survey, and combining it with other data collected from the application process, our peer mentors create “scorecards” for each student to help us prioritize our outreach and support. Many institutions have purchased sophisticated data analytic software that ingests data to predict the likelihood of a student persisting and graduating. These are fabulous tools, but they are expensive and sometimes complicated to use. And, sometimes the predictions from these tools don’t match the outcomes or what feels right when working with the students. As an alternate approach to predicting the likelihood of a student retaining, we have our peer mentors use the available data we have to create scorecards for each student that results in an individual score for each student. We have found the following data points to be powerful predictors of persistence and use these scores to help guide our outreach and support to students in the early weeks of their first semester: high school GPAs first-generation status ACT/SAT scores intent to transfer race/ethnicity residency status living on campus or off campus In the end, the method doesn’t have to be exact or overly complex.

As such, nudging them immediately can increase the likelihood of them completing certain tasks you need them to do.
