their vital role. Best Practices for Supporting Adjunct Faculty is written

Although access to higher education is virtually universally available,
many students who start in a higher education program drop out prior to

goals. In response to student attrition, colleges have developed intervention
programs and services to try to retain students. In spite of all of the
programs and services to help retain students, according to the U.S.
Department of Education, Center for Educational Statistics, only 50% of
those who enter higher education actually earn a bachelor's degree.
Enrollment management and the retention of students remain a top priority
of federal and state government, colleges, universities, and parents of
students who are attending college and of students themselves. This book
offers a formula for student success intended to assist colleges and
universities in retaining and graduating students.
