Nearly 100 educators, students, alumni, business leaders, policy officials and entrepreneurs assembled Friday, October 30, 2009 on the campus of Brown University to tackle one of the most critical problems facing our state: The departure of many of our bright, talented college students upon graduation.

The Knowledge Retention Symposium dialogue among stakeholders was successful in creating a forum to explore ways to retain our best graduates and grow the state’s knowledge-based economy.

Designed to shape a blueprint to address this important issue the dialogue will continue electronically going forward, as we will continue the KRS bridge-building activity. Be a part of the process going forward. Check in here for continued activities on retention efforts statewide.
