Each year, over a million students drop out of college or university—some 31 million Americans in the last two decades. In fact, only 48.3% of first-time, full-time students at public universities graduate within six years, prompting academic leaders, like Arizona State University President Michael Crow, to dub this a “completion crisis.” These drop-outs and stop-outs are “The Forgotten Students.”
In this “Forgotten Student” webcast, we will discuss:
- The Impact of the completion crisis on students, institutions, and the workforce.
- Debunking common myths about “Forgotten Students.”
- Why bringing back stop-out students is challenging.
- New approaches to the completion crisis – including the science of re-entry.
