While valuable\, these numbers often flatten the student experience\, overlooking the complex personal\, social\, and cultural dimensions that shape persistence. This session explores how integrating qualitative approaches such as narrative inquiry\, focus groups\, and student storytelling provides a more holistic picture of student success and attrition. By examining case studies and examples\, participants will see how student voices illuminate gaps in institutional support and challenge assumptions hidden in traditional metrics. Attendees will leave with concrete strategies for designing mixed-method retention studies\, framing student narratives as actionable data\, and using these insights to inform equity-driven policies and practices. Ultimately\, the session argues that to truly support retention\, higher education must move beyond metrics and embrace the humanity behind the numbers. \n \n Register Now\n \n \n \n \n \n \nACPA Individual Member – $10\nACPA International Member – $5\nNon-Member – $20\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presented by:\n\nAshley L.

(You might know Erin who has hosted Program Design School for 10 years and has graduated nearly a thousand higher education professionals through that experience.) \nWhy should you (and your team) go? When we think about facilitation\, we know the right facilitator can make all the difference. You know this to be true if you remember the last bad facilitator you had. So\, we have created content to help you deliver the best for your audience. First\, as your guides\, we have scoured through Mike’s Ph.D. research and are sharing the top 12 things participants need from facilitators and the results are fascinating! Join us if you want to practice your facilitative skills\, increase your audience’s evaluations score on your work\, learn how to flex your style to meet your audience\, figure out how to make your work more interactive using the 70/30 rule\, practice your pace and pitch\, and learn where facilitators can often go wrong. Finally\, we will teach you how to read your audience when they make a face that stresses you out. \nAs we share\, you never went to camp to watch videos about canoeing\, horseback riding\, and the ropes course. Why would your participants come to your course to watch you read the PowerPoints when they could be trying something themselves? Let us help you get better—fast. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What to Expect & Why to Attend PDF\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n It’s Time to joinfacilitation school if you…\n \n \n \n \n \n \nWant to get better and improve your facilitation.\nStruggle with confidence in front of a group.\nHave a hard time getting folks to participate.\nOverthink your guide and your PowerPoint but always talk too much.\nCan’t manage your time – you have too much time left over to fill or you feel like you can’t fit everything in – either way your participants get cheated.\nStruggle with silence in your programs.\nDon’t know how to get to your main point or go on too many tangents.\nWorry about your evaluation scores\, but don’t change your style to meet your audience.\nDon’t know how to make your work memorable or sticky. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Who should\nattend…\n \n \n \n \n \n Folks representing the Dean of Students\, Academic Student Services\, Career Services and Prep\, Student Union\, Housing & Residence Life\, Financial Aid\, Student Involvement & Leadership\, Fraternity & Sorority Life\, Student Connections & Support Center\, Student Success\, Campus Mentoring Programs\, Managers of Student and Registered Organizations\, Shared Business Services\, Dining\, Admissions and New Student Programs\, Managers of Peer Mentors\, First Gen Student Programming\, Orientation\, Parent and Family Programming\, Educational Access Center\, Undergraduate Advising\, Grant-Funded Projects\, High Impact Educational Programming\, Community-Based Learning\, Communication and Partnerships\, and the Office of the Vice President. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration Information\nEach attendee of the Facilitation School Online must be registered.
