  4. Hypotheses 1-4 High Cost of Tuitionmay play a significant role in failing to attain the bachelor’s degree Working too much/Poor Time Managementmay play a significant role in failing to attain the bachelor’s degree Transfer Shockmay play a role in failing to attain the bachelor’s degree Hate Crimesmay play a role in failing to attain the bachelor’s degree Speaker: Purav Patel

  13. High Cost of Tuition: Yes Working too much/Poor Time Management: Mixed Results Transfer Shock: Yes Hate Crimes: :Mixed Results Lack of Support: Yes Binge Drinking/Excessive Partying: Yes Health Problems: Mixed Results Were our hypotheses valid? Speaker: Diana Shekhed

  14. What are solutions from research and our common sense? • High Cost of Tuition: employer should pay for tuition or offer some sort of help, should be better state funding, federal programs designed to better fund college education, government should make education a priority, financial aid should have more money, loans more accessible, better interest rates. • Working too much/Poor Time Management Skills: better time management behavior: having a clear purpose, studying in a quiet place, don’t procrastinate, keep work at a minimal (part-time). • Transfer Shock: TAP program, see counselors, create transfer centers, outreach programs, allow students to know ahead of time GPA will drop, mentoring and tutoring, institutions should not hastily change requirements. Speaker: Tim So

  15. What are solutions from research and our common sense? • Hate Crimes: report hate crimes to campus police & campus administrators, have open meeting with campus president and other senior administrators, have anti-defamation league present and offering workshops. • Lack of support: develop supportive friendship networks, teachers interact with students more and show interest in the students’ success, inspiration can come from family • Binge Drinking/Excessive Partying: increasing the cost of liquor license, reducing number of nearby liquor sellers, restricting hours of liquor sale, and responsible beverage service. • Health Problems: safe sex, talk about sex, parents being more aware of things students do, universal program for disabled students. Speaker: Diana Shekhed
