Free webinars on retention

Innovative Educators does a pretty good job of providing useful materials, often at a good price or no price at all. This fall they're offering three free webinars focusing on student retention at three different kinds of institutions. About the one addressed to four-year publics they say:

The webinar will feature data on the coordination of retention services, retention and degree completion rates, student and institutional factors contributing to attrition, and perceived effectiveness of more that 90 retention interventions. Data will be cross-walked into retention and degree completion rates to ascertain practices that differentiate institutions with high retention and persistence to degree rates from those with low rates. Finally, results of the survey will be compared with those of the 2004 survey to determine if any changes have taken place in the last five years.
