Episode 8 (30:11)
In this episode, we learn about a successful student services model in which one distance education coordinator works closely with faculty to support students from start to finish. The partnership developed between faculty member Meghan Gillette and campus coordinator Katie Mott allows them to help learners navigate their graduate program smoothly. The two have implemented recruitment and retention strategies and credit their commitment to students as the key to making it all work.
