What Every College Student Needs To Know®
About Persistence and College Completion
Popularized by the groundbreaking work of UPenn researcher, Dr. Angela Duckworth and her wildly successful TED Talk (18 million views and counting, since 2013), Grit has become one of the latest buzzwords on today’s college campuses...and rightfully so: there is a direct correlation between student resilience and student retention!
One out of every three US college students will drop out within the first year. Only 5% of our full-time community college students complete their associate's degree within two years. Only 19% of our full-time students attending our public universities complete their bachelor's degree within four years. There are more stats…and they only get worse.
We have to do something as a collective industry. As a start, we at Collegiate Empowerment have developed Grit For College Students to get the conversation started on your campus and to help navigate these challenges.
In this highly engaging and relevant educational seminar, we bring the power of the research and literature to life for today’s college student. By exposing students to what it truly takes to not only survive college but to thrive, Grit For College Students helps increase their own personal resiliency, tenacity, and perseverance for success from orientation all the way through graduation and beyond. It’s the perfect message for today’s college student!
