To help reverse declining enrollment in community colleges, RAND and Dallas College webinar presenters examine the loss of students who leave their colleges before the census date. Presenters investigate reasons that students drop out during this period and recommend multiple strategies to retain or re-engage these students. Dallas College presenters offer details about analyses they undertook and strategies they are adopting.
