Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

I'm conducting research for Mary Virnoche. The research has mostly been reviewing qualitative literature on peer mentoring, mentoring, retention rates, and approaches institutions of higher education take in order to have high retention rates among Sociology majors. The focus of the study is directly on Sociology but the literature reviewed is expansive. This project will show the audience the problem(s) with low retention rates of SOC majors and will have the key findings in my review. The research project is still taking place so I'll have plenty of data and analysis of Mary's literature and research. I may add key findings that have helped with my existing research on higher education.
