University Of Arizona Ups Student Retention Rate

More than 83 percent of students at the University of Arizona are staying from one year to the next.

And university officials are giving some of the credit for that to a new software program the school is using, to try to identify, and then help, students who may be at risk of dropping out.

Melissa Vito is a senior vice president at UA.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
