That means better learning, higher retention rates, and greater student satisfaction. Retention is a large part of the engagement quotient. It has a “snowball” or multiplier effect, in that improving retention on a very basic level can result in dramatic improvements at higher levels. Getting students engaged with activities, events, and organizations can result in higher retention rates. Create activities with content students care about and you will see higher attendance. Hold engaging events and you will see greater involvement. Help students to form and run organizations that engage and inspire them, and you will see clubs with more members and higher retention. That higher retention rate among organizations and events will translate into a more engaged campus, and increased academic achievement.
