We'll analyze the economics of retention, including how a small emergency fund pays for itself and why some students are choosing high interest credit cards over federal loans. **What will you learn from this episode?** A practical, evidence-based playbook for student retention in higher education drawn from David Evans' work leading access-focused institutions including the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, Southern Vermont College, and the American University of Bulgaria. Inside the episode you’ll learn: * How to reduce institutional friction for first-generation students? * Why a small fund can lift graduation rates by six percentage points, as Georgia State's research showed? * Why students rarely tell exit surveys the real reason they left? * How to use student data to identify risk before it becomes attrition? * Why students choose 23% credit card debt over 6% federal loans and what to do about it? * How to reach the students who need help most, the ones least likely to ask? * Why celebrating first-generation identity drives belonging and persistence make this better? Want to find out more? Let's get into the episode.
