IUP President Dr. Michael Driscoll commented on the student retention efforts at the IUP Council of Trustees meeting Thursday evening.
According to statistics released in February, the university achieved a 90.1 percent retention rate for first-year full-time bachelors-degree seeking students, which is the highest fall-to-spring retention rate since 2010. Driscoll was happy with the efforts, and talked about what needs to be done to carry that momentum forward.
In other business, the council of trustees approved awarding an honorary degree to Ellen Ruddock. Driscoll talked about her impact on the IUP Community.
The council also approved a resolution to name the hotel simulation desk in honor of the Statler Foundation.
