• Seven lotteries that were well-executed - the study found that students assigned to receive coaching were significantly more likely than students in the comparison group to remain enrolled at their institutions 6, 12, and 18 months after random assignment.
• For longer-term follow-up data, there was no significant difference between the groups in enrollment 24 months
• Focus on Proactive Coaching during the Connection and Entry Phases—in Target Programs—First Year Experience!

Predictive Analytics
• With predictive analytics we can use historical data to help predict future behavior
• Benefits of predictive analytics:– Prioritize outreach - with limited staff, budget,
resources, etc. and large caseloads this is important
– Optimize your services and intervention strategies based on the additional information
– Be more impactful with recommendations and referrals
– Provide Central Carolina staff the knowledge of why a student may struggle or be successful in a course

Analytics Goal
• Convert a set of complex characteristics into a single, actionable measurement in Aviso
• Ability for front-line success staff to have simplified information to help impact overall student success
