Fall 2010
Convocation
Mattering
Schlossberg (College Impact)
• Marginality — feeling that ones does not belong
• Mattering — feeling that one belongs and is
valued by others
Students succeed when they feel valued by others;
they “fail” (academically, socially, etc.) when they
feel marginalized.

So….What Does This Mean?
• Example: Pilot Study with 6 Budig Courses
• N=1438 full-time, first-time freshmen
(39% of the new freshman class)
• With 5 of the 6 reporting, 34% “flagged”
34% of 1438 = 489 students
Translates to 10%+ retention
• 3 of the 5 courses reviewed as of now
64 students (1.5% retention)
64 Students
 28 (44%) missing course assignment
 27 (42%) have failing grades
 7 (11%) no registered “clicker”
 2 (3%) no registered clicker in one course and
failing a second course
 70% male / 30% female
 70% live on campus
 ACT average = 23.9
 39 (61%) have an enrollment hold
So….What Do We Do?
