Throughout the REACT project, the core institutions of Winchester, Exeter and London Metropolitan have been conducting an in-depth, multi-faceted evaluation of selected co-curricular student engagement activities – ‘Student Fellows’, ‘Change Agents’ and ‘Peer-Assisted Student Success’ respectively. This involved the collection of survey data to explore key concepts related to the motivations of students to participate in these initiatives. This survey explores areas including employability, academic study and partnership, with an aim of improving co-curricular initiatives to make them more inclusive of ‘hard to reach’ students. These ‘motivations’ to participate are used to contextualise data about the attainment and continuation of active student participants. Rather than seek to assert or confirm that various groups are ‘hard to reach’, this research seeks to understand better what does and does not make co-curricular activities inclusive of hard-to-reach students. In this sense, the aim is to have a greater understanding of how students are successfully ‘reached’. Discussion will focus on how attainment and retention can help us to explore whether a wide range of students is benefiting from participation.

Retention Initiatives

“Student swirl,” or the inconsistent flow in and out of college coursework from term-to-term, institution-to-institution, reflects the non-traditional nature of many community college students. Swirl can be triggered by such stressors as: balancing work, school, and family obligations; financial challenges; and health problems. In turn, it influences irregular enrollment and lack of academic success. Swirl also occurs intra-institutionally, affected by college re-entry policies once students are suspended for academic reasons. Three initiatives serve as pathways back into college for suspended students at one Midwestern institution. This study explores their effects on success, as well as the role of life challenges, academic-related skills, and student background and commitment to succeed. While retention initiatives affect later performance, factors contributing to intra-institutional swirl playa stronger role. Implications for both student retention and institutional effectiveness are discussed.
