“We all are engaged in the same broad task, which is to increase the persistence and success of the students we enroll,” said Dr. Philip Acree Cavalier, senior vice chancellor for academic affairs and UT Martin provost. “Excellent speakers and facilitators will participate in the summit, and we plan for plenty of discussion time to share student-retention information that affects all participants.”
