Student retention in higher education is a primary indicator of institutional reputation, impacting factors such as national rankings, admissions selectivity, and alumni support (Lee, Sanford, and Lee 2014). Programs designed to support student success in the first year and beyond generally intersect with the institutional mission. Utilizing quantitative data, the University of Miami (UM) identified academically at-risk students and developed an intervention program to help them get back on track. UM positively affected retention rates for this population by eight percentage points over the past seven years. This study highlights the specific details of data analytics, program development, and both quantitative and qualitative outcomes for this student persistence initiative.
