Prior research shows students who have at least one connection to campus are more likely to persist, retain and complete a college degree, particularly for students from historically marginalized or less privileged backgrounds. However, building high-quality and long-lasting relationships can feel challenging or unattainable for many college students.
In this episode, host Ashley Mowreader speaks with Elon University’s Peter Felten, executive director of the Center for Engaged Learning, and Emily Krechel, director of new student programs. Felten and Krechel serve as members on the Mentoring Initiatives Design Team. The two discuss the role of relationships in student success and how Elon stakeholders look to create a relationship-rich university community.
