Workshop topics are based on what research and practice show are the most timely, most relevant areas that administrators and faculty are concerned about today. The same session topics are offered at both 2010 locations--Washington, D.C. and Chicago, IL.

This was the single most effective workshop I have ever attended.

I found Teresa Farnum's workshops to be very practical and easy to implement. I feel confident that we will be able to achieve our objective of improving retention as a result of what I learned.

Teresa Farnum is an excellent workshop facilitator. I would recommend that other institutions do what we did—four of us attended the workshops, two from the Academic side and two from the Student Development side. This worked really well for us!

As a new Director of Retention, I found this workshop EXTREMELY helpful in helping me to identify the strategies and processes necessary to create a Retention Plan that includes EVERYONE in the retention process. I can't wait to get started!
