I know that students don't always want to be "partying" in school, but I believe sometimes a break with fun activities is helpful for morale and gives the student a break to possibly prevent academic erosion.

I love orientation

I believe a well planned orientation is a great start to a program. I believe the staff should be enthusiatic about the students who have made it to the program and continue to grow on that bond. I believe that it is very important to make sure all questions are answered (somewhat)during orientation. So the agenda should be thorough.

Admissions

I am so very lucky to work with a group of admissions personnel. I believe they always have the interest of the facility in mind when selecting candidates, however I believe that it is still a very difficult task, because potential students are fulfilling a dream and may say what they believe the admission personnel want to hear, in order to fulfill their dream.

Never understood Atrition as I do now.

Such basic information can be so helpful. I thought I understood attrition but now I know. I am going to be a better listerner/supporter for my students.

Better understanding of Retention

I felt the way the module introduced Retention, I felt we had to make the numbers. I now have a better understanding of how retention works and how to utilize our facility's tools. I am excited to go to our weekly retention meeting and and discuss some of the issues addressed in this module/training.

Retention Education

This course was very enlightening for me. I believe we utilize alot of the tools discussed in the modules, but maybe a little differently.

I am going to try to be open to listening and participating in student lives with a more stern approach. I believe these students want structure and guidance and I am very excited to provide them with that knowledge.
