 * The 3-Tier GICE Approach for Student Retention**

GICE is a newly designed 3-tier conceptual model used to enhance retention with first term experience students. Too many students fall away from their studies during or after their first term. We have a strategy to share, which will engage and empower students in such a way that they move from mediocrity toward excellence; feel the power of their worth, hunger for additional learning and reach to achieve. GICE stands for guide, inspire, challenge and empower. Join us to watch the tiers evolve.

//Interactivity// Polls will be used prior to the instruction, during and at the completion of the presentation to allow for participant interaction. Question and answer will also be used throughout.
