Predictors of First-Year Student Retention in the Community College (2008, background): “More recent studies that focus specifically on community college student retention have suggested that parental education level is positively associated with student persistence (Hoyt, 1999; Summers, 2003; Wild & Ebbers, 2002).”

Beyond the first‐year experience: the impact on attrition of student experiences throughout undergraduate degree studies in six diverse universities (2011, background): “It should be noted that intention to leave or intention to stay has been found by several researchers to strongly predict actual departure or persistence (Bean and Metzner 1985; Eaton and Bean 1995; Sandler 2000; Summers 2003).”
Retention in Online Courses (2016, background): “For example, Summers (2003) discussed the retention issues in relation to community college students and observed that students who had value orientations that were different from the norm were not able to interact socially with their peers.”
