Abstract	This article provides a partial observation of a multi-tiered academic retention program with leadership and mentoring components aimed at providing academic and social support for high-achieving undergraduate students of color at a predominantly White university. As postsecondary institutions are faced with sustaining students, the development, execution, and evaluation of retention programs have become compulsory to closing the retention and graduation gaps between underrepresented and White students. This study observed the impact of an academic retention program to compare the academic success of African American participants versus African American non-participants over a three-year period. The results revealed that African American participants performed better academically than the African American non-participants, thus signifying that participants benefit academically from program participation.
