Retention drive launched
In February, the Office of Undergraduate Studies launched a retention campaign aimed at keeping students at UNL.
The campaign - announced with a postcard and web site -stressed that it is every UNL employee's job to help with the retention of students.
The campaign demonstrated what one-percent annual retention represented, using 36 students in the promotion.
The Web site, www.retain.unl.edu, listed ways faculty and staff can help keep students at UNL.
