Programs seek to keep students at KU
By Doug Fishback
Kansan staff writer
KU administrators are hoping changes this year in orientation and living group programs will help freshmen decide to return to the University next year.
Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said she was concerned about traditional attrition rates at the University and that one of her goals was to improve student persistence.
Studies by the office of institutional research and planning from 1982 to 1987 show that nearly 21 percent of each entering freshman class left the University after the first year.
the studies also indicate that during a four year span, attrition figures approached 49 percent in each class.
David Shulenburger, assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the students' reasons for leaving varied but that one reason was that some students simply did not feel they were a part of KU.
Enter Sally Bryant, director of the new student orientation program.
Bryant has directed the implementation of a new orientation policy, which she said was designed to make the transition to college life an ongoing process instead of an isolated event.
"It's a very significant transition, and it involves the totality of a human being." Bryant said.
One of Bryant's actions has been to change the literature sent to freshmen. She said that in the past, two "blue books" had been mailed to new students before they arrived at the Lawrence campus.
The books gave important information about housing and summer orientation. Bryant said, but they did not lead students to think enough about their move to Lawrence.
"You can't make an effective transition if you are not prepared," she said.
This year's freshman class received a third blue book and will receive a fourth. Bryan said.
The third book, mailed between summer orientation and the move to campus, pointed out events early in the semester and encouraged students to become part of the activities during Hawk Week, she said.
The fourth book will be mailed in early October and will help students prepare to enroll for the spring semester, Bryant said. The book also will tell students where they may go for academic or personal counseling.
Bryant also said she hoped to implement a fall orientation next year which would help create a sense of ongoing support for new students. Bryant said the fall orientation would encourage students to develop self-awareness and decision-making abilities.
Another possibility is a freshman University orientation course that would count toward degree requirements, Bryant said. Such courses, like one required at Ohio State University, Columbus, improve student persistence, she said.
The office of new student orientation is about to complete a "bridge video" that follows four students from the end of their senior year in high school through their first six weeks at KU. Bryant said the video was not designed to recruit students to the University but to help new students become part of the KU community.
She said she also would like to implement telephone campaigns and written surveys that would keep closer tabs on freshmen and their
needs.
Ramaley said such programs could be extended to other residence halls and to the scholarship halls in the future.
The course would focus on developing ethics and goals. Bryant said.
Ramaley said living group programs also were important to integrating new students into the University community.
She said the new Experience Excellence in Ellsworth program was a pilot venture designed to create a close community of students who lived, studied and attended many of the same classes together.
Such changes will take time, but this year's orientation and Ellsworth programs reflect a new philosophy that will work to keep freshmen coming back, she said.
