Based on the information that you have gathered, prepare a brief, research-based white paper that proposes at least two programs or services designed to increase the first-to-second-year retention rate at the institution described on the fact sheet.

Week 6 Proposed Solution

Based on the information that you have gathered, prepare a brief, research-based white paper that proposes at least two programs or services designed to increase the first-to-second-year retention rate at the institution described on the fact sheet.

For each service or program, include the following:

· A rationale explaining why it is likely to positively impact first-year student retention

· A brief analysis of potential costs (i.e., political, financial, etc.). It is not necessary to quantify potential costs; a narrative description of the type of cost required, such as salaries, development costs, or equipment, is perfectly acceptable.
