8 Key Student Retention Findings from a 4-Year Study

In partnership with Eastern Michigan University and Concordia University Wisconsin, this 4-year study of 2,542 students details key digital behavioral signals that predict student retention risk as well as essential interventions for reducing drop-out rates.

What you'll learn:

  • Key strategies to build an effective mobile-first student engagement strategy
  • Why students who do not download your campus app are 68% more likely to drop out
  • How pre-first year summer engagement can decrease retention risk by more than 50%
  • Why conventional demographic-based retention prediction models are not enough
