Ramapo College Awarded For Sharing How To Promote Student Success

MAHWAH, NJ — Ramapo College has been named the winner of an award recognizing institutions that "selflessly share practices and approaches to student success and strives to help peers succeed," the college said in a news release.

Ramapo, chosen for EAB's Collaborative Citizen Award, was recognized for expanding use of an early-alert system for identifying at-risk transfer students, raising one-year retention rates from 76% to 86% across five years.

“We are not only proud of the work our campus has done, and continues to do, to facilitate and foster a culture of student success through innovation, but we are grateful to be part of a community of learners that prioritizes this for all of higher education," Christopher Romano, Vice President of Strategic Enrollment, said.

In addition, Ramapo was acknowledged for presenting on EAB's nationwide Student Success Collaborative, and collaborating with EAB to connect with other partners to share insights and best practices.

“Giving back through the EAB Student Success Collaborative allows Ramapo College to reflect on our own practices and to join a broader network to further our student success efforts on campus,” Joseph Connell, Assistant Vice President of Student Success, said.
