Student Affairs reports recruitment gains, retention improvements and housing occupancy challenges
Summary
Dr. Anna Perry reported recruitment visits, positive Navigate-system retention indicators, and current housing occupancy rates (Choctaw Hall 65%, Johnston 85%, East Campus 85%, Regents 100%, Apartments 76%). Regents discussed incentives and repairs to address vacancies.
Dr. Anna Perry told the Board that recruitment efforts included five school visits, outreach at the Pitt 8 Tournament and participation in regional career fairs; a School Partnership Professional Development event hosted 76 counselors and administrators representing 31 schools.
Perry said Navigate reports indicate positive gains in student persistence and advising effectiveness; Regents requested further analysis by division and academic area. She provided housing occupancy figures: Choctaw Hall 65%, Johnston Hall 85%, East Campus 85%, Regents 100% and Apartments 76%. Some vacancies were attributed to HVAC and repair issues. Student-life activities highlighted a new Leo's Club, international food day and campus dances; limited student activity funding was noted and Regents urged pursuing Foundation and local donor support.
