How This Program Benefits You
Student Success Dashboard
The CSU Student Success Dashboard is an easy-to-navigate data dashboard that visualizes institutional student data in new and powerful ways. Our motto is: “Every number is a person, and every person has a story.” The Dashboard constitutes the main source material for the Analytics Certificate Program and allows program participants of all data-literacy levels to understand equity and student success issues with accessible data at their fingertips.
Engaging Curriculum
Our equity-focused curriculum asks cross-divisional teams to tackle and improve student success issues by understanding and embracing the diversity of our students, valuing their individual experiences and needs, and thinking through strategies that shift our institutions to being student-ready and student-centered.
Building Community with Peers
Our Analytics Certificate Program requires campuses to assemble a team of passionate, caring, and action-driven faculty, staff, and administrators, and invites them to work, learn, and inspire each other to develop approaches to improving student success. Program participants can expect to become data ambassadors who will return to their departments and programs and build capacity among their peers to grow and scale their student success efforts.
Testimonials
I feel profoundly grateful to share this space with my faculty colleagues. It has been a transformational experience to have this time together to think through our equity gaps and strategies to address them.
