The Retention Ecosystem Playbook
Moving Beyond Programs to Systems Transformation
The Retention Ecosystem Playbook addresses a critical gap in higher education: the absence of a comprehensive, systems-based approach to student retention. For decades, institutions have relied on well-intentioned programs layered atop fragmented structures. While many initiatives have yielded incremental gains, few have confronted the underlying institutional design itself.
This book reframes retention not as a collection of interventions, but as an institutional ecosystem—one where policies, practices, culture, and data function as an integrated whole. In an era of enrollment volatility, heightened accountability, and urgent demands for equitable outcomes, incremental adjustments are no longer sufficient.
Drawing on decades of executive leadership experience and the Unified Student Success Model (USSM), Dr. Edward G. Robinson provides a structured framework for redesigning retention at the institutional level. The 50+ implementation maps, diagnostic tools, and case applications included are not supplementary add-ons—they are the mechanisms through which alignment becomes actionable.
This work invites leaders to move beyond isolated programs and toward coherent, durable systems. It offers not simply strategies for improving retention rates, but a blueprint for rethinking how colleges organize themselves around student success.
📚 Includes An Exclusive Access Code to the Companion Resource Library — 50+ downloadable implementation tools, templates, and assessments (and growing).
