David Conley, Distinguished Professor, University of Oregon: § “Nobody manages the transition very well. For most institutions of higher education, it isn't a transition at all.

What Matters Most for Student Success?
Some Observations about Entering Students • Students experience culture shock and academic shock. • Students don’t know what they don’t know…but we expect them to! • You have to ask to be told…but what if you don’t know what to ask?
What does this mean for community college leaders? • Create an “on-ramp” to college life. • Show students the relevance of what they’re doing – help them understand the “what” and the “why. ” • Make everything more personal – show them we care! • If we know what students need – make it mandatory!
High Performing Colleges …make student engagement inescapable! Imagine Success!
