This is what a 1% increase in student retention looks like. While 'student retention' may sound like administrivia, it's far from it. It's about individual students, their potential and their future...and ours. For each of the past five years, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has done 1% better in student retention than the year before. That means 36 more students 'hung in there' to move toward graduation...180 more since 2000.
