Student retention requires more than good intentions — it requires the right people having the right information at the right time.

Join Dr. Kimberly Bryant and Dr. Aaron Carver from the University of Mount Olive as they share how UMO redesigned its retention strategy by investing in a dedicated advising team and empowering staff with actionable data. By combining critical Student Information System (SIS) and Learning Management System (LMS) data through IntelliBoard, advisors now have a comprehensive view of student engagement, performance, and risk indicators.

This session will explore how UMO moved from reactive intervention to proactive student support, enabling advisors to identify challenges earlier, coordinate outreach, and improve student persistence.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• How UMO structured and scaled a centralized advising model
• Strategies for combining SIS and LMS data into a unified student view
• How data visibility empowers advisors to intervene earlier
• Practical lessons learned while implementing a retention-focused workflow

Perfect for institutional leaders, advisors, student success teams, and anyone focused on improving retention outcomes.
