Although how to define and measure student success might be different for institutions that have different missions and serve different student populations, there are some commonly accepted student success measures and similar data challenges to track student success among higher education institutions. In this session, our guest speakers will share some recent scholarly research about student success and discuss how to use NSSE data to improve student success. The MIRO team will demonstrate how they include key student success measures in their homegrown decision support system, and make student success measures such as retention rates, graduation rates, time to completion, academic performance, NSSE results, and student experience data easy to access and digest for campus decision makers.
Honored Guests
“To promote greater student success and equity, we need to find ways to have better measures and data about students. This MIRO event will do just that!”

“In today’s higher education environment, everyone is responsible for student success. Campus leaders need a range of measures about students’ experience to inform the design of more equitable and inclusive environments that will improve persistence, completion and outcomes, particularly for students with minoritized identities.”
