by Abel G. Okagbare Ed D. (Author)

A university may have a prestigious pedigree, a beautiful campus, state-of-the-art research facilities, and a dedicated staff, but none of these define a good school. Instead, the students are the lifeblood of the academic world. When the attrition rates increase, the school loses its most important asset.

In this new exploration of student persistence and attrition, educator Dr. Abel G. Okagbare, EdD, uses the wisdom gleaned from over fifteen years in academia to understand the main context behind rising attrition rates and the best ways to foster student persistence.

He covers

  • the characteristics of at-risk students,
  • the unique challenges faced by different student populations,
  • the aspects of successful colleges with low attrition rates,
  • the beneficial relationships between students and staff,
  • the best practices for keeping students at school,
  • the differences between universities with high and low attrition rates,
  • the ways educators and administrators can foster student persistence, and
  • the most successful approaches to empower students to take control of their education and plan for success.
Dr. Okagbare combines data analysis with personal case studies to help you help your students overcome the myriad challenges before them.
