The graduates of the last decade (GOLD) demographic are both the most important donor demographic as well as the most difficult to cultivate. When advancement staff secure GOLD donations, they develop a pipeline of donors with years of giving ahead of them.

What can advancement offices do to maintain relationships with these graduates and secure their participation in advancement efforts for years to come?

The definition and methods for achieving and enabling student success have changed over the years, shifting from the traditional belief that students are the primary party responsible for achieving their own success to the modern reality that institutions play a significant role in ensuring learners experience success according to the student's personal objectives. Exposition aside, enrolling future learners and retaining current students both lean heavily on perceived student outcomes, which means institutions must prioritize their student success initiatives.

Part of the challenge facing institutions is aligning the definition of student success across campus, as various stakeholders, departments, and cohorts all have their own ideologies. One of the best ways to ensure your students experience success is to take a top-down approach that understands the journey from a nascent student success program to a mature, wholly operational model.

The challenges associated with student enrollment and retention in higher education are unlikely to subside in the immediate future due to increased competition, unpredictable economic turbulence, and evolving student expectations. However, institutions that approach these obstacles by focusing on what matters—students—may find it easier to attract new students and retain existing students. 

Engagement, which has always been critical, is even more vital in today’s hyperconnected digital economy. Staff must proactively connect with prospective and existing students at the right time and through the right channels to improve enrollment and retention. The challenge is that all students are different and, depending on where they are in their learning journeys, have different motivations and assumptions.

The decision to pursue higher education is weighed against a number of factors but often comes down to an individual's ability to pay for a college degree.

Financial aid can include any combination of grants, scholarships, work-study jobs, and loans that provide funds for an individual’s college tuition and expenses. The white paper discusses how institutions can provide accurate, timely, and concise financial aid offers to attract new learners and encourage existing students to stay enrolled.
