Webinar: Collegiate recovery student recruitment and retention strategies

What’s the secret in the sauce, so to speak? Recruitment and retention of students is the foundation of all successful collegiate recovery communities. Remember, you can’t have a collegiate recovery program without the community of students. Additionally, your campus administration is probably like most, and have a focus on retention and graduation rates as part of their performance metrics. From large 4-year state universities to local community colleges and everything in between, collegiate recovery student recruitment and retention is critical to the longevity of your program. Join us April 29th, as collegiate recovery and recovery high school experts explore real world examples, strategies, and emergent best practices for engaging new and returning students.

Participants will:

- Learn how key investments, such as space, staff, institutional support, and an attractive and supportive culture, provides a strong foundation for sustainable collegiate recovery programs.
- Understand the importance of student recruitment and retention to a collegiate recovery program.
- Discuss challenges of student recruitment and retention during the time of COVID19.
