Student services
Student learning and student retention are correlated strongly with student engagement. The more actively engaged students are - with college faculty and staff, with other students, with the subject matter being learned - the more likely they are to persist in their college studies and to achieve at higher levels.
This connection has been emphasized in a number of major studies and reports on the undergraduate experience.
