Wayne State University leaders are beefing up their outreach efforts to keep students in school in response to retention statistics placing WSU last among Michigan's public universities and below urban universities across the nation. According to data presented at Wednesday's Board of Governors meeting, 10 percent of WSU\'s students will graduate in four years and 32 percent will graduate in six years, a figure university leaders call \"unacceptable.\" \"We have decided who we admit to our institution,\" said Howard Shapiro, associate vice president for undergraduate programs and general education. \"When we admit them, we need to do what it takes to see they are successful.\" Among the immediate changes: Advisers at the university will be more intrusive early in students\' academic careers; learning communities will be expanded and more peer mentors will help struggling students. Student Marcus Lee said bridge programs such as Project 350, targeted to first-generation college students from disadvantaged backgrounds, are very good at orientating students. The university has many services in place to help students, Shapiro said. The problem is often \"getting the people connected to the services.\" Wayne State University Governor Richard Bernstein said retaining students needs to be the university\'s top priority.
