Be a part of the most important conversation centered on student persistence
Our inaugural summer read features distinguished university professor emeritus Dr. Vincent Tinto's latest book Completing College - Rethinking Institutional Action.

We need student input to help frame policies and practices. Their voices and experiences matter. Students should not be seen as just part of the problem, but as part of the solution.
