Retention Investigation Task Force Report Now Available

In November 2019, Provost Elisabeth Mermann-Jozwiak and Vice President for Strategic Initiatives Robert Midkiff formed the Retention Investigation Task Force. This group was charged with investigating why students leave Bucknell; investigating why students who were considering leaving decide to stay; and providing initial recommendations for actions and strategies to address identified trends that have the potential to increase retention. Their work is summarized in the resulting Retention Investigation Task Force Report.
