Dear Colleagues,

One behalf of the Educational Policy Institute and our subsidiary, studentretention.org, I am honored to invite you to participate in Retention 2007 May 22-24, 2007 at the Westin Riverwalk Hotel in San Antonio, Texas.

At EPI we are dedicated to the mission of providing educational opportunities to underserved students, especially minorities and those from low-income families. Retention 2007 will bring together the top researchers, policy makers, and professionals involved in student retention today. Attendees will have the chance to interact with peers struggling with similar retention issues and gain insight on best practices and programs that work.

I encourage you to explore our conference website and see everything that Retention 2007 has to offer, from a pre-conference workshop to over 40 presentations from some of the leading experts in the field. If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Hosford at shosford@educationalpolicy.org or 757-271-6380.

I look forward to seeing you in San Antonio.

Sincerely,

Dr. Watson Scott Swail
President and CEO
