An Australian University Boosts Retention With Mentoring

The Chronicle of Higher Education has a few good articles today in the Global news.  First is a mentoring program that has increased retention rates from 82 to 87 percent at Curtin University in Australia.  Mentoring takes place during the first year of their three-year degree programs.  Mentors are selected by administrators who have succeeded academically.  They are trained for their duties and serve about 15 mentees.  Their service is noted on their academic records and they are awarded $100-$250 vouchers for participating.  Link here.
