Enhancing Institutional Retention Through Mentorship in MSI Schools

This project highlights the transformative impact of mentorship in small, isolated institutions across the MSI network. By fostering relationships between mentor and mentee schools, we observed significant improvements in retention practices, engagement of college staff, and the development of inviting learning environments. Site visits, collaborative meetings, and shared resources proved fundamental in enabling schools to adapt successful strategies. The initiative demonstrated that both mentor and mentee schools experienced substantial institutional changes, enhancing educational experiences and retention outcomes for all involved.
