The Journey Begins<\/strong><\/p>\n

The doctoral summer residency has been a transformative experience.\u00a0 It was a journey of growth that challenged perspectives of the world and interactions within it.\u00a0\u00a0Students built relationships among peers and faculty, and by the end of two weeks, these connections forged strong lifelong bonds.\u00a0 Every student arrived unsure what to expect; by the end, every student grew as a person and a scholar developed friendships that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Problem of Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students are unenrolling from vocational colleges more than previous years (Fain, 2012).\u00a0 Student retention fluctuated between 52.5% to 71.6% from 2007 to 2014 (College of Study, 2017).\u00a0 From 2012 to 2018 student enrollment declined 4.9%, 2.8%, 2.6%, 2.9%, and 2.0%, respectfully (College of Study, 2017).\u00a0 Declining enrollment and low retention impact colleges financially, leading to program closure and staff layoffs. Student retention connects directly to students\u2019 overall satisfaction and educational experiences (Levitz, Noel, & Richter, 1999).\u00a0 There are many ways for vocational and technical colleges to improve student retention.\u00a0 Retention rates tightly tie with enrollment rates (NSC Research Center, 2019).\u00a0 Even though acquiring new students does not link directly to student retention, retaining current students does increase overall enrollment.<\/p>\n

Research Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The researcher will use a triangulation approach to analyze qualitative data. Interviews, observations, and analysis of data will be the primary method of gathering data. Studying the human experience in a vocational college will develop and guide the study and towards implications, findings, and conclusions (Lochmiller & Lester, 2017). Three research questions guide this qualitative study.
\nRQ1: How does the student-adviser relationship impact student retention?
\nRQ2: How does student connectivity to their educational institutions affect student retention?
\nRQ3: How do different advisement methods affect student retention?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
