Accelerate Your  Students' Success 

“We wanted to see that this was giving us a return on our investment… For freshmen, we did see a 1.3% higher retention rate of the students who were participating versus those who were not participating  in the program. When they moved on from winter to the spring term, that was 1.4% higher, and returning from spring to the next year in fall it was a 2.1% higher rate for those that were mentored versus those that were not. If you look at our transfer students, those numbers were even more pronounced: it was a 4.1% term-the-term retention increase and a 5% spring to the next fall retention increase."

"We began [our mentorship program with Mentor Collective with] first with Pell-eligible, first-time, first-year students in 2021 allowing them to opt-in…Then in 2022, we extended this opportunity to all first-time, first-year students.   We are now beginning to track the cohorts, and we're seeing the impacts on retention.”
