The Retention Committee (RC) emerged from Bellevue University’s strategic plan and identification of the need to develop proactive interventions that support the improvement of student persistence, retention, and completion. The mission of the RC is to build long-term, meaningful student relationships through holistic support services and programs that result in greater persistence, retention, and completion.
In June 2022, President Hawkins asked the Retention Committee to focus on discovering best practices from successful programs.
