Every student you lose, you pay for twice.
Once in tuition and state funding. Once to recruit their replacement. Put in your numbers. See what the leak actually costs, and how few students you need to keep to pay for the fix.

What it means
Illustrative. Replace every input with your own figures. Numbers exclude room and board, auxiliaries, philanthropy, aid interactions, and variable instructional costs. Use this to justify broad, equitable investment in student success, not to rank students by expected revenue.
Retention is not one flat number.
Say “we retain 75%” and it sounds like three quarters of the class is always there. It is not. Each year has its own rate, and they multiply. The class standing in year four is the freshman rate, times the sophomore rate, times the junior rate.
That is why the leak is bigger than it looks, and why fixing the freshman year, the biggest drop, moves everything downstream.
“Engagement” is not an answer. What is?
Most retention work runs on anecdote, not data. Rank what you suspect is driving students out. We will walk through your top three and show you what the research says actually moves each one.
Click your suspected drivers in order, most likely first. Pick at least three.
Now you have the number. Bring it to the room.
