Campus retention efforts, historically, don't focus on second-year students as much as they do first-year students. Yet, the “sophomore slump” is named such for a reason. Are colleges making a costly mistake by focusing their retention efforts on delivering the best first-year experience?

An increasing number of universities are starting to offer second-year programs that focus on combating the slump. And for good reason: Many universities are seeing positive results.

Join us at our new Virtual Forum, "The Student-Success Journey: Beating the 'Sophomore Slump,'" on August 22, starting at 2 p.m. ET.

During this forum, we'll discuss the unique financial concerns, social life, basic needs, and academic advising elements that all play a part in the sophomore experience. Delivering the best first year is crucial, but students deserve care and attention throughout the entirety of their college experience.
