Colleges Encouraged to Improve the Student Experience By Using Identified Best Practices

by Toni Coleman , March 13, 2008

Categories:

Initially launched by the American Association for Higher Education, the management of BEAMS was transferred to IHEP.

Among the overall recommendations, which officials say can be applied to non-MSIs to improve student retention and degree attainment:

Investments are needed to build the capacity of MSIs to collect, analyze and use data for institutional decision-making and accountability efforts.
Institutions should align data collection methods with institutional capacity and develop a framework to interpret data results.
Institutions should consider how their data-based improvement project fits in with the wider campus objectives.

A panel of experts will make presentations at California State University-Dominguez Hills (March 25), Spelman College (March 28), University of Puerto Rico-Humacao (April 1), and University of the Incarnate Word (April 4).
