University of California - Riverside Increases First-Year & Transfer Student Retention
Leveraging volunteer peer mentors and the technology from Mentor Collective, UCR designed a peer support program to build sense of belonging amid remote learning and complement the suite of student services already available
We adopted this tool in response to the pandemic, but after seeing consistent lifts in retention we plan to continue offering this valuable resource to our students. Greater sense of belonging among undergraduates can lead not only to improved retention and graduation rates, but longer term it can help to further diversify the professoriate if more of our students begin to view universities as places where they would like to build their careers.”
