Prior to launching our free assessment MOOC, Applying & Leading Assessment in Student Affairs, the Student Affairs Assessment Leaders (SAAL) is hosting a live session on January 25 at 2:00 PM EST with the instructors to share course details (past outcome data, new improvements, etc.), share why we love the course, and discuss how folks – faculty, staff, graduate students, and anyone interested in assessment – can leverage it for individual and collective professional development. They’ll be time for Q&A, as well.

Institutional Effectiveness 2.0 in action requires a new way of leading, collecting data, and using data to drive decision-making. It requires leaders to empower their faculty and staff to not only contribute to an institution's success but give them room to lead beyond their titles to accelerate success within their department, college, or unit. And ensuring that stakeholders have meaningful data at their fingertips tell success stories and write new ones fosters the necessary decision-making power required for improvement and change across an institution. Learn from leaders at the University of Kentucky and Lincoln Land Community College who are leading their institution to think beyond their titles to transform theories of change into practice, establish communities of practice, and drive continuous improvement using data to elevate effectiveness, foster sustainability, and a clear return on investment for students.
