SUMMARY:ACPA2GO: Data to Dialogue: Humanizing Retention Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Data to Dialogue: Humanizing Retention Strategies\n17 September 2026 // 3:00PM – 4:00PM ET\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Institutions of higher education have long relied on quantitative data such as GPA\, retention rates\, and credit accumulation to explain why students persist\, transfer\, or withdraw. 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.

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!
