Board, Administration, Faculty and Staff Focus. Most important to the success of outreach efforts and retention is the focus and support of all members of the Morton College team on student learning. This commitment is evident from the moment students arrive at the college and see beautiful, wellmaintained facilities, meet friendly faculty, staff and students and observe the bilingual signage that makes it clear that all students are welcome and supported.

The key to Morton College’s student outreach and retention is focusing all efforts on student learning and creating a welcoming environment that meets every student’s unique needs for achieving individual academic goals.

— Dr. Leslie Navarro is interim president of Morton College and Dr. Evelyn Waiwaiole is director of National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD). The forum is sponsored in partnership with NISOD at the University of Texas at Austin.
