Seminar Description

Recruitment and Retention of BIPOC students at CCP are a great concern.

"The “Tinto Model of Retention” posits that all students come to college and university with a lifetime of prior experiences; and these experiences shape how students experience the array of different communities at our educational institutions. Students who feel they belong and matter within these communities increase students’ commitment to an institution and fosters their motivation to persist." (Dr. Vincent Tinto, Professor Emeritus of Education at Syracuse University, whose framework of student retention has persisted for 50 years.)
