The survey of Coggin College sophomores was conducted and designed by Dr. Leslie Gordon to tap feedback on student retention for the business school. Factors included affordability, the study abroad program and students had a goal to graduate from 海角社区as a first-generation college student.  

When asked what influenced their decision to return to UNF’s Coggin College, there were several factors ranked. The top factors and influences included: 

  • Human Support: Support from family (55%). 
  • Facilities: Personal living space (44%). 
  • Prepare-For-Future: Better prepared to make positive impact on the world (37%). 
  • University: Location of campus (37%). 
  • Goal Achievement: Commitment to achieving career goals (37%). 
  • Financial: Financial stability (35%). 
  • Classroom: Professors/Instructors (27%). 


The survey began in September and was completed with results in October, said Gordon, who currently teaches Social Media Management, Consumer Behavior, Sales Management and Advertising Management at UNF.
