Join us for a hands-on workshop focused on enhancing student success through effective use of various data tools. This workshop will provide tools and strategies to support student recruitment, retention, and program alignment.
This hands-on workshop will provide an opportunity for department heads to:
- To streamline program requirements and ensure alignment with Financial Aid (CPOS) compliance.
- Explore how to create and publish interactive syllabi directly within Canvas.
- Using real-time dashboards to track your Apply–Admit–Enroll funnel and discover how to engage with prospective students.
- Do some practical exercises to identify and support at-risk students.
- Ask questions, share your future dashboard needs, and know more about NMSU Data tools.
All sessions will be held in Breland Hall, Room 175 (computer lab), with additional aspects held in Breland Hall, Room 179.
Attendees should consider the following questions prior to the workshop:
- What role are you expected to have in recruiting new classes of students?
- If you had records of incoming students and where they are in the Apply-Admit-Enroll funnel, how would you use this information?
- How are you expected to use data in your role as department head?
We look forward to your participation!
