In this special bonus episode from the AMA Mini-Series, hosted by Allison Turcio, she dives into one of the most pressing—and often overlooked—topics in higher education: retention. As Allison shares, we can’t out-recruit poor retention. This episode unpacks why student persistence isn't just a student services issue—it’s a marketing, messaging, and promise-keeping priority. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies and fresh perspectives on how enrollment marketers can become key players in student success.
