Description
Recruitment, remediation, and retention have become high-visibility issues for higher education as these matters receive increased scrutiny from government, the media, and consumers concerned about receiving greater results. This issue identifies the best practices for recruitment, remediation, and retention, describing lessons learned from innovative and successful programs across the nation. The authors show how to adapt these efforts to today's diverse populations and technological possibilities, and they provide a set of practical resources--including Web sites and other electronic tools--to assist practitioners in achieving the goals of their own programs. This is the 108th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Higher Education.
