Key performance indicators (KPI) are holistic measures of student success. They are quantifiable measures aligned with an academic program's mission and priority. To date, undergraduate programs have identified or are finalizing key performance indicators as part of the assessment process. In this interactive session, Diego Valente will discuss defining key performance indicators, determining if the KPI aligns with the program's priorities, determining if and how to impact change, identifying ways to gather or locate the data, and considering ways to look at data from a DEI perspective. Attendees will be encouraged to share their own experiences in order to strategize how to address challenges.
