Advisors have a unique view on recruitment that allows them to be influential in retaining students. The linked article below furthers a discussion begun by Peterson and Kem (2009), adding information on retention with a special focus on underrepresented populations and second admission programs such as teacher preparation. The recruitment strategies discussed are the basis for effective approaches to retention, highlighting the importance of creating long-term relationships early in a student’s educational career, reaching underrepresented populations and increasing access to advising via technology. Commission chair, Christine Lancaster and commission members, Kelsey Boyer and Chelsea Smith, co-authored: Tying Recruitment to Retention: An Advisor's Role in Working with Underrepresented Populations.
