culminating senior experiences – also most valued by faculty

Other favorable results:◦ service learning participation (seniors)◦ making class presentations (first-year)◦ working with other students (first-year)

Very little difference in quality of academic advising rating Lower rating of the entire educational experience compared

to our Carnegie class

Predicting Retention (1-r2)

How could the first year at ISU better engage students with our expectations for them, academically?

Social engagement appears to have a strong impact on our first-year students:◦ What are the opportunities to leverage this to

improve their academic performance?◦ How can we identify and engage those students

who show greater risk for lack of social engagement, early in their first semester?
