Student Success Data Champions

Program Status: Monitor/Assess

The Data Champions program will bring together selected faculty, staff, and administrators from across our campus to build data literacy, empower data users, deepen our understanding of equity-minded data analysis, and ultimately expand the data-informed student-success decision-making capacity at PSU. Participants will gather in cross-functional teams to answer questions about student success, supported by a series of two-hour learning/workshop sessions, and with the help of expert coaches. After completing the program, the Data Champions will return their skills and knowledge to their units to support strategic decision-making.
