Praise for this book

Institutional leaders grappling with the age-old question of how to manage student absenteeism, a challenge further complicated by the monumental growth in remote learning, need not look any further for a comprehensive resource to guide their decision-making. Attending to Student Success offers a balanced compendium of data and information colleges and universities need to develop effective, evidence-based policies and procedures.

In an era of shifting course modalities and increasing demands on students' time and attention, Miller calls critical attention to the perennially important topic of course attendance.

Dr. Miller's work highlights the tension between higher education's traditions and policies, and the fluid landscape of technological advances, economics, and human experiences. His balanced, yet empathetic, examples of students' academic engagement (or lack thereof) encourage the reader to reconsider how behaviors ultimately measure up to student success.
