    • Evaluation is the most used

    • Belonging - 8 areas with almost the same wording, asking them several times in first year. Campus Culture Survey also asks about belonging.

Group Discussion:

• Would like to use these surveys to see the first year experience across time

• WillVill project may be a proof of concept for this

• Using the data to flag students who are at risk and for outreach

• We have a wealth of information and are at a point where we can be intentional about when we collect it, how we use it

• Data sharing has been an obstacle

  • AIM working on getting survey data to a point where it’s more shareable

    • longitudinal views of data

    • look at multiple collections of same information (e.g., belonging) so it can be pulled easily

    • get to a point where as data comes in, we can view data by various topics and create dashboards based on individual needs
