Noel-Levtiz Conference July 2006

Best Practices
Written By David Arendale

I am just back from presenting a session at the 2006 Noel Levitz Conference on Student Retention that was hosted in Denver, CO. It has been a few years since I had presented at the conference, but the same mix of veterans and new people were in attendance as usual. I was impressed by the number of major scholars who were presenting this year such as Wes Habley from ACT, John Schuh, and the rest. The scholarship concerning student retention continues to increase. I recommend the conference highly for anyone who is interested in seeing the best models for both attracting and retaining college students.
