Following its recent and very successful event ‘Attendance Matters?’, Southampton Solent University are hosting a new event called ‘Retention in Tough Times’.

The event that will focus on many aspects of the crucial issue of student retention in educational institutions and the aim of this event is to help institutions to analyse the key aspects to retention, identify core components, strengthen and improve existing strategies, and understand how technology can support such activities. Institutions must create an environment that maintains capacity as well as encourage an organisational culture that includes a comprehensive retention programme as part of strategic planning.

Burall InfoSmart supply dozens of UK universities with their Staff and Student cards and are pleased to be sponsoring this event which will discuss the increasing role of technology to help measure attendance and improve student retention.
