Fresh, Actionable Perspectives on Adult Student Enrollment and Success
Session Description
This innovative flip session (materials in advance, facilitated discussion during session) will engage attendees in a lively conversation on enrollment and persistence in post-traditional programs. Attendees will receive executive summaries from several innovative research projects in advance of the session, including a “secret shopping” analysis involving more than 220 for-profit and non-profit universities serving adult learners and an analysis of the correlation between adult student satisfaction measures and retention drawn from more than 1700 student records. These documents will provide the backdrop for an interactive discussion on ways to grow enrollment and improve retention and adult student success. The session will conclude with a break-out group exercise in which participants develop an action plan for taking what they’ve learned during the session and putting it to work upon return to their respective institutions.
