    Every person, policy, and program at an institution can cause a student to leave but at the end of the day students choose to stay because of the connections they make. Carroll’s laudable end goal of seeing that “every student experience is positive or has perceived meaning” has been sharpened over the last several years to create the STAY program which is centralized in its approach to increasing student success. The STAY program (Right Student, Right Time, Right Attention, and Right Yield) takes both a interpersonal and quantitative approach – seeking to meet students where they are at during particular points in the year.…

    Ave Maria University is known as a prestigious institution of learning. Each and every young adult has the right to learn. This brings me back to the times when I was given the opportunity and pleasure to mentor grade school students in the sport of baseball. I took this opportunity to not only teach them the fundamentals of the sport, but I was also blessed with learning compassion and patience from these young enthusiastic learners. This opened a door for me to go on to mentoring underprivileged students at the University of Illinois at Chicago campus. This touched me so much that it would be an honor while attending Ave Maria University, to get involved in mentoring and volunteer work on campus and within the community. My academic career choice is aimed at giving back. It would be a privilege to study here, especially for students like myself, whose careers may take them anywhere. A degree with your institution is sure to open doors and opportunities for me, regardless of where I am.…
