About Us

The Tennessee Association for Student Success and Retention (TASSR) is a professional organization for postsecondary faculty and staff who are currently or were formerly involved in programs to improve student persistence in obtaining their chosen degrees. These efforts encompass a number of areas: learning support programs (formerly known as developmental studies programs), tutoring, learning laboratories, retention initiatives, enrollment management, learning communities, cohort programs, first-year programs, adult student services, and TRIO programs. TASSR was formerly known as TNADE (Tennessee Association for Developmental Education), and is an affiliate of the National Association for Developmental Education. The October 2012 conference will be the organization's 28th annual conference and the 2nd annual conference of TASSR.
