2. Center for the Study of College Student Retention (CSCSR)
   The Center for the Study of College Student Retention (CSCSR), formerly Collegeways, web site was initially launched in 1996 by Dr. Alan Seidman, an expert in college student retention issues. The vision of the site is to provide retention resources to individuals and the educational community with the latest research findings regarding the retention of students in higher education. Student retention and attrition is an enduring topic. Identifying who persists from term to term and who leaves to stopout, or transfer, can help an institution sharpen its recruiting efforts, refine its marketing methods, and identify any needed improvements in services to students in the teaching/learning process.
