Intuitively, we know a lot has changed in higher education over the past ten years, both with our students and our practices, in particular with campus housing. And, we can think of many stories that reflect these changes. But, which of these stories show up in our data, and what in the data surprise us?

Nursing programs purpose themselves to be accountable to communities of interest—to include the nursing profession, consumers, employers, peer institutions of higher education, students and their families. CCNE accreditation validates the success a nursing program achieved related to mission, goals and outcomes. As nursing faculty and administrators, we have to be able to nimbly understand and communicate our program outcomes based on data we collected and analyzed—we need agility to draw conclusions as to what our communities of interest value and what makes our program unique and effective in fulfilling our mission. Join this webinar to learn how to use internal and external data sources to provide evidence of programmatic assessment plan effectiveness. The speaker will address ways to effectively “tell your success stories” to CCNE site visitors and communities of interest through use of multiple data sources. The audience will be given examples of how relevant data sharing, sculpted to fit specific communities of interest, can optimize and leverage program outcomes.

Surveys are one of the most commonly used assessment tools on college campuses. When designed and used properly, surveys can allow us to collect, analyze, and use data on a variety of topics to improve our efforts on campus. But, surveys also present a challenge, as a quality survey is much more than just asking a few questions. While most of us may not need to be expert survey designers ourselves, we should at least be smart consumers of survey data. In this webinar, we’ll use examples from Skyfactor assessments to highlight the science behind designing a quality survey, as well as provide tips for both improving your survey questions and calling shenanigans on poor surveys.

From early alert programs to degree paths, many of our current student success projects have a narrow focus. And, given that narrow solutions can allow for quick action, it’s only natural that these would be popular and useful choices. But, what happens if we want to take a broader perspective to our student success initiatives? Fundamentally, any holistic approach to student success must address both academic and non-academic issues, consider multiple interventions, and be inclusive of a wide range of constituencies. So, where do you start? In this webinar, we’ll frame multiple perspectives for thinking through building a comprehensive and holistic approach to student success applicable to any campus.
