Dr. Spanier


"Experience has shown that even the most modest intervention on your part can make a tremendous difference in a student's decision to remain in college."

--President Spanier

President Spanier has expressed his concern (August 2007 email) about student attrition rates, urging faculty to make a special effort to look for early signs that first-year students may need help. Studies of first-year attrition rates suggest that dropout behavior usually begins to surface in the first few weeks of the fall semester. The following list of available resources has been compiled to better help Penn State faculty provide students with the direction and assistance they may need to succeed. Please scroll down to find the student resources available at your campus location.
