Presentation Title: Using Predictive Analytics and Goal-Setting to Promote Graduation

Topic Overview: 

Join us for a presentation and discussion session on predictive analytics to identify students who may encounter challenges toward graduation, as determined by metrics based on first- and second-semester indicators, and on strategies to support them, including targeted goal-setting in the second year. Specifically, the presentation will contextualize these metrics and their use within existing student success projects and units, with an eye toward utilizing pre-matriculation and institutional data to prevent students from falling behind.

Presenters: Dr. Lindsey Back, Director, Office for Research on Student Success, and Dr. Darima Butitova, Data Analyst, Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Affairs and Academic Programs.
