This broad-focus position involves ongoing examination, implementation, and evaluation of student engagement/retention practices with respect to the four target areas listed below.

1. Assessment: Student Outcomes Assessment and Program Evaluation
* Collaborate with the retention committee to assess student retention and attrition patterns within and between academic terms.

2. Academic Success: Curricular Interventions & Academic Support
* Establish and teach a section of the freshman seminar and facilitate its connection with academic affairs.
* Serve as an academic advisor.
* Collaborate with the Academic Achievement and Career Exploration Center, the Kelly Center, and the retention committee to assist in the planning and delivery of programs designed to promote advising for student engagement/retention.

* Collaborate with the AACE, Kelly Center, and retention committee to facilitate: (a) communication-and-referral system with classroom instructors, (b) peer-partner program, and (c) student-success outreach programs.
* Work closely with academic advisors to promote engagement and retention of students who have been identified as being at-risk for disengagement and attrition.
* Assist in the recognition of first-year students' academic achievements and contributions to the college.
3. Student Development: Co-Curriculum, Student Life, & Student Services
* Develop and implement Tiger Pre-Enrollment Days, Transfer Pre-Enrollment Days, Tiger Impact Orientation, Transfer Orientation, Student of Color Orientation, and International Student Orientation, in collaboration with other Student Affairs departments.

* Develop ways that campus technology might promote greater student engagement through programs such as Tiger Connect and the Tiger Connect parent program.
* Assist in the development and implementation of a sophomore-specific communication channel to keep returning students “in the loop†and engaged and address issues / concerns unique to the sophomore experience.
* Assist in the coordination and delivery of all new-student orientations.
* Assist in the coordination of student engagement via experiential learning activities (e.g., co-curricular and community involvement).
* Collaborate with offices involved in parent communication (e.g., parents newsletter, Education Dynamics Parent Portal, website) to ensure that the families of Fort Hays State University students are aware of the engaging and success-promoting opportunities available to students at times throughout their freshman and sophomore years.
4. Organizational Development: Institutional Policies, Practices, & Procedures
* Serve as chair of the college's retention committee, and organize periodic student retention-and-success workshops for the college.
* Develop a "master schedule" of student engagement-and-retention activities for the fall, winter, spring, and summer terms.
* Develop and implement a welcome-back ritual or celebratory experience for sophomores to promote their interest in and excitement about returning to Fort Hays State University and establish institutional traditions.
* Collaborate with the Office of Admission on tracking students (and different student populations) from application to matriculation to retention through graduation.
* Work with college admission staff to identify student-application data that may be useful in predicting at-risk students and promoting student retention (e.g., using admission information to proactively "connect" students with campus clubs and student leaders that match their interests).
* Implement administrative procedures for assuring that withdrawing students who are eligible to return to the college are apprised of their option to do so, and that they leave fully informed about what procedures they are to follow to be re-enrolled or re-admitted.
* Collaborate with Student Fiscal Services to explore how billing/payment schedules and communication may impact student retention.
* Collaborate with the Office of Financial-Aid to explore how aid packaging, communication, and opportunities for student employment (on and off campus) may influence retention.
* Collaborate with the Kelly Center to ensure periodic student retention-and-success workshops for the college, such as the TIGERS series.
* Periodically disseminate a student-success newsletter to the college community.
* Explore ways in which engagement-and-retention practices or programs may be "built into" the institutional budget and organizational structure of the college (i.e., its blueprint or flowchart), thus enhancing their prospects for long-term survival.
* Work with high-level administrators to demonstrate visible support for engagement and retention initiatives.
* Explore with administrators the creation of incentives for faculty and staff to promote their involvement in engagement-and-retention programs or interventions (e.g., stipends, mini-grants, release time, travel and professional development funding, administrative or student assistance).
* Solicit administrative support for the professional development of faculty and staff in areas relating to student engagement, retention, and success.
* Seek administrative encouragement of, and support for, college rituals and traditions that are designed to build campus community and increase students' institutional identification and college affiliation.
