Professional Development and Curricular Strategies • Professional development for faculty, in support of retention-related activities, has included course content/curriculum management, the use of technology, and academic advising strategies. • Streamlined developmental course sequences in both English and reading were created to improve student retention and matriculation rates.

Reflection • Devoted to creating a better life for their constituents, supporting economic growth and a responsible citizenry. • Institution addresses the lack of traditionally underserved student populations on their campus, but more attention should be given to non-traditional student populations (those out of high school).

  9. “Our job is to empower others to reach their potential through life-long learning. When we do our jobs well, the student benefits; that ripple effect ultimately manifests itself in love of self, love of productivity (contributions through work), and love of community (giving back and being included as an essential part)” (M. Wilson, personal communication, October 5, 2012).
