Programs cut dropout rate
Orientation and counseling help freshmen cope
By STEVE KNIGHT
OMIwEmarald
Thirty-three percent of the
University's freshman class drop
out each year, and 46 percent of
all University students enrolled
never reach their senior year
Alienation and a Kind of culture
shock add to the high attrition
rate, says Gregg Lobisser,
University orientation director
“If students don't feel they
have an identity at the University
— if they don’t 'fit' — it's difficult
for them to become committed to
their academic work,” Lobisser
says
As orientation director, it's
Lobisser's job to lower the attri
tion level of the University's
freshmen class He begins his
retention efforts in July during the
Early Orientation and Registra
tion Program, a two-day event
where students are given their
class schedules, introduced to
other students and shown around
campus
The approximately 1,500
students who participate in EORP
each summer have a higher re
tention rate and generally better
"sense of belonging,” Lobisser
says
"They can begin to visualize
themselves living here so when
they arrive (in the fall) there are
fewer shocks, fewer unknowns,”
he says
' Academic frustration” is a
major factor in attrition, says
David Hubin, learning resources
director Many students come to
the University without proper
learning skills and as a result are
unable to cope with the rigorous
demands of higher education, he
says
The Learning Resources
Center, a division of the arts and
sciences college, offers courses
that help freshmen make the
transition from high school to
college, Hubin says
One class — Introduction to
University Study — covers effec
tive listening and note-taking
techniques and the skills neces
sary to understand reading ma
terial
Financial and personal prob
lems also play a part in a
student's decision to leave
school, Lobisser says
“If you've got a $500 bill and
you've got a due date coming up
and you're not going to meet it.
how are your going to focus on
academics7'' he says
Short term loans and deferred
tuition are two ways the adminis
tration helps ease students con
cern over finances, Lobisser
says, and the counseling center
