The retention of undergraduate students through graduation must be integral to the ongoing mission of higher education institutions. Students with a working knowledge of hope theory and positive psychology interventions can increase their sense of hope surrounding academic goal attainment, thereby reinforcing their path to graduation. A one-group pretest-posttest quantitative design was used with a convenience sample of undergraduate students ("N = 85, 82.4% female, 49.4% Caucasian, 60% in the age range of 18 to 24 years") recruited from three distinct institutions. The D2L/Brightspace learning management system served as the delivery platform for this fully online asynchronous study. Students completed the Adult Hope Scale, the GACS-24 (a brief instrument within the VIA Signature Strengths family of assessments), and the PERMA Profiler pre and post-intervention. The intervention consisted of a brief learning activity covering positive psychology interventions, the PERMA model of wellbeing, and C.R. Snyder's hope theory. Seven distinct results were reported based upon statistical analyses of pre and post-intervention data. Most importantly, findings showed that participants' measured levels of hope and wellbeing increased following the intervention. In addition, over 80% of participants selected a rating of "accept" to "strongly accept," with respect to their belief in C.R. Snyder's hope formula. The study's key implications point to (a) professional development training for higher education faculty and staff, and (b) the delivery of material in multiple formats and settings across the college/university campus, each to emphasize practical applications of hope theory and positive psychology interventions to augment existing student support activities.
