The results are surprisingly encouraging—and provide a clarion call for regional stakeholders interested in ensuring Philadelphia emerges competitive and prosperous in today’s knowledge economy. We would like to thank the following colleges and universities for their participation in this survey: Arcadia University Immaculata University Temple University Bryn Mawr College La Salle University The University of the Arts Cabrini College Lincoln University Thomas Jefferson University Chestnut Hill College Manor College University of Pennsylvania Community College of Philadelphia Moore College of Art and Design University of the Sciences in Philadelphia Delaware Valley College Penn State-Abington Valley Forge Christian College Drexel University Pennyslvania Academy of the Fine Arts Villanova University Gwynedd-Mercy College Rosemont College West Chester University Harcum College Saint Joseph's University Widener University Haverford College Swarthmore College Photography in this report was provided by University of Pennsylvania, Bob Krist, Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation and James Wasserman Executive Summary In January 2004, the Knowledge Industry Partnership (KIP) conducted a web-based For every 10 students who graduate from high school in Philadelphia and go onto survey of 2,550 graduates who attended college in the Greater Philadelphia area and college, 4 students will end up residing elsewhere after college. graduated in the spring or summer of 2003.Twenty nine different colleges from the region (see inside front cover) participated by contacting graduates.The data represents The Opportunity: Philadelphia has the potential to retain more students. a diverse sample of graduates in terms of place of origin, place of residence, degree, class status, field of work, ethnicity and general attitudes and opinions about the region. Philadelphia already has the key ingredients needed to not only attract college students, but keep them here after they graduate: The Good News: Philadelphia retains more graduates than most people think. • The infrastructure necessary to provide ample internship opportunities 64 % of all graduates remain in the region after college. • Strong academic programs in fields of study most likely to retain students Contrary to conventional wisdom, almost two-thirds of all undergraduate and • The vast cultural and professional resources of a major urban center graduate students choose to remain in the Philadelphia region after earning their • Affordable cost of living and plentiful housing stock degree. By comparison, Boston widely regarded as the market leader for higher education, retains only 50 percent of its new graduates. Judging from the region’s relatively high retention of native college graduates, Philadelphia now has the proof these ingredients work. 86 % of graduates originally from the area stay in the area. Philadelphia does especially well in retaining native Philadelphians.This is a testa- Those who truly know the region realize it’s not just a great place to go to school, ment to the region’s popularity among those with a first-hand appreciation for all but also to build a career. it has to offer. Once again, Philadelphia’s retention of homegrown graduates is currently higher than Boston’s (72%). Philadelphia should focus more resources and activities on its non-native students. In other words, make sure they come to know the region as intimately as Philadelphians The Challenge: Philadelphia does not do as well in retaining non-native graduates. do. As our findings confirm, those who develop a first-hand appreciation for all that Philadelphia has to offer—both on and off campus—are not so quick to pack their 29 % of those not originally from this region stay after graduation. bags come graduation. After taking up residence for at least a year and typically much longer, more than 15,000 new graduates leave the region annually in pursuit of work somewhere else.

It is simply not enough for Philadelphia to keep its own sons and daughters in the Herein lies the main issue resting at the center of this report. area after college. From a practical standpoint, convincing more non-native college students to stay is the region’s best way to replenish the thousands of high school When talented, temporary residents ask themselves,“Should I stay in the region after graduates who leave the region for college.This will also help compensate for those I graduate or go somewhere else?” far too many make the personal and professional residents who do not go on to earn their degree. decision to leave. 4 5 Retaining Philadelphia’s College Graduates Who Stays and Who Goes There are two times when young educated Philadelphia’s strong graduate retention people … future scientists, engineers, exec- clearly confirms this region is attractive to 25% of students utives, and artists … typically pack their Philadelphia natives and non-natives alike. head somewhere new bags during their college career.

  • College Based Support Programs Introduction
    Part 2: College Based Support Programs Introduction: Most colleges and universities have campus-based support programs and services that help enrolled students address any challenges they may face. These programs can help youth succeed and can be especially valuable for youth who are not connected to family who can provide significant support. Some of these programs are specifically targeted at youth who are or have been in foster care, while many are available to all students, or students meeting certain eligibility criteria such as financial need or having a disability. Most youth who are or were in foster care will be eligible for many of these programs. Helping youth identify these programs and enroll in them as soon as possible will help them build a network of support that will aid in their success in higher education and training. This section covers campus-based support programs that target youth with experience in foster care and general campus-based support programs. It also covers higher education points of contact (POC) for youth with experience in foster care. What are campus-based support programs targeted at youth with experience in foster care? Many colleges and universities have developed campus support programs to address the unique higher education needs of young people in the foster care system. These programs provide resources and staff support to help young people with experience in foster care who may not be receiving assistance from their parents or other guardians after they enter college. Staff at these programs have knowledge of the foster care system and the challenges that youth in care face.
