“Strategic Assessment Processes: Using Data to Bring More Money, Engagement, and Retention" Webinar Series

 

This webinar series will highlight how student affairs professionals can use their assessment data more effectively in order to increase donor giving, engagement, and retention at their institutions. In the first session, participants will learn about a boundary-breaking model to leverage assessment data in a new way to improve fundraising, donor support and alumni engagement.  The second session will focus on how to standardize data collection methods across departments and develop a centralized repository of data in order put the puzzling pieces of divisional student engagement together. The final session will discuss data integration techniques to address early warning system needs, fast tracking information to academic advisors, and assessing the impact of first year support programs on retention and academic success.

 

Webinar 1: Thinking Differently About Assessment: Connecting Assessment Work with Increasing Donor Support

Webinar 2: The Student Engagement Puzzle: Piecing Together Divisional Student Involvement Data using Technology

Program Description:

Our field has become increasingly comfortable with assessing programs and services while using this work to inform decision making.  Up to now, this work has largely focused on internal practices. This session will provide practitioners with a boundary-breaking model to leverage assessment data in a new way to improve fundraising, donor support and alumni engagement. A new vision will be emphasized to leverage assessment to provide long-term support and financial impacts for our students and programs. 

Learning Outcomes:

• • Clearly identify ways existing assessment work could be utilized to increase institutional support for student affairs programming.
  • Define how each student affairs functional area can share relevant data to strategically collaborate with offices of institutional or student affairs advancement.
  • Identify potential revenue streams to supplement current funding on their campuses and how assessment data could be used to make these revenue streams easier to obtain.
  • Transition thinking on student involvement patterns and how these patterns may be leveraged to increase alumni engagement at the institution.
  • Discuss how to reframe the conversation about the value of assessment operations on their campus within a broader institutional advancement framework.

Webinar 2: The Student Engagement Puzzle: Piecing Together Divisional Student Involvement Data using Technology

Program Description:

In Student Affairs, information related to student involvement is often collected here, there and everywhere in between. Though collecting this information is an important first step, it is necessary to think about the larger (divisional) picture and figure out ways to standardize data collection methods across departments with the goal of creating a centralized repository of data that allows for easier assessment and reporting on student engagement down the road. This webinar will focus on steps that can be taken and tools that can be used to pull involvement data from various sources in order to begin putting the puzzling pieces of divisional (cross-departmental) student engagement together.

Learning Outcomes:

• Describe various forms of student involvement data that may be present within a division
• Explain different methods for collecting and storing data in a unified way
• Identify technological platforms and applications that can be leveraged to promote access to centralized involvement data
• Begin developing  questions to consider when thinking about how best to leverage various tools to centralize data in their own division

Program Description:

The webinar will demonstrate that with a little advance planning and institutional collaboration you can maximize the utility of your surveys to address early warning system needs, fast tracking information to academic advisors, assessing the impact of first year support programs on retention and academic success, and time to degree analysis, all through the use of techniques associated with data integration.  This non-technical webinar will describe the conversations necessary to start such a project and design a workable project plan in terms of scope, identify helpful tools and tips needed to build a meaningful dataset, and provide real life examples from a single set of cohort studies that have been used for multiple audiences from K-12 educators interested in high school preparedness to senior faculty and staff members interested in retention, academic performance, and time to degree issues. 

 

Learning Outcomes:

• Learn how to envision a multiple purpose data integration project
• Learn how to engage interested colleagues in  conversations around common issues
• Learn how to identify and recruit technical champions to your project
• Learn how to build informative, action oriented messages from your data
