Episode 18—College Access and Student Success

Enrollment Edge by enrollmentFUEL

In the coming years, it will be imperative that colleges become proficient at not just recruiting students, but also retaining them until completion of their desired degree. Savvy enrollment managers are looking ahead at the shrinking number of high school graduates, often called the demographic cliff, and are making strategic plans to ensure their institution is set up to provide every student the opportunity to matriculate and succeed. On today's Enrollment Edge, Jay talks with Alex Leader, Founder and CEO of Aviso Retention, about how colleges can collect the right data, translate that data into actionable plans, and implement a Student Success model across the campus. Jay and Alex also delve into the subject of the use of standardized testing, and other tools that are used to predict student success in college.
