Summary
Higher education is facing unprecedented external pressure and change. After decades of growth and expansion, AASCU institutions are dealing with massive disruption to their traditional way of doing business. Leaders across the community are discussing how to shift their strategies around student success from a spending, budget mindset to investment and ROI-oriented thinking that sustainably improves student and institutional outcomes.
But what does that look like in reality? To succeed in the face of so much change and uncertainty, leaders must shed status quo practices built for a much different time. The future of student success requires a transformational shift away from strategies that focus only on at-risk populations, are limited to retention metrics, or are based on averages, benchmarks, and best guesses.
Watch this panel discussion with two AASCU institutions - the University of North Georgia and Utah Valley University - as they discuss their experience in implementing data-activated student impact strategies. Hear about their approach to analytics, how they are organizing around the work, lessons learned and data-activated strategies they are evolving to produce positive student outcomes and generate net tuition revenue to reinvest in their institutional mission.
