Thriving and engaged campuses have an advantage.
They retain more students than campuses that are disengaged and struggling.
Gallup has found that students should have six strengths-based touchpoints a year with a friend, mentor, advisor or professor — anyone who deliberately helps students direct their strengths — to live a more engaged and thriving life.
In this article, Using a Strengths-Based Approach to Retain College Students, you'll see that one of the first steps to higher retention is caring about the strengths of students, faculty and educators.

It provides a framework to help leaders, faculty and administrators use strengths to create a thriving campus. |

| The CliftonStrengths Report for Those Who Influence

|
|
| Earlier this year, we launched our CliftonStrengths for Managers report. It has gained a ton of traction within the education industry, and leaders at every level are finding the contents of the report extremely useful.
If you help manage any aspect of student success or help facilitate student outcomes (even if you don't work directly with students), this report would be beneficial for you.
With brand-new content, practical action items, and an activity to help you define and reach your goals, this report has what you need to help increase the success of your teams and students — all while using your strengths.
