Assessment Institute: Building a Culture of Community Engagement Through Data – Planning for Success
Join us at the 2021 Assessment Institute!
Building a Culture of Community Engagement Through Data – Planning for Success
Advancing a coordinated approach to engagement poised to move the needle on topics of key institutional and community priority requires a strategic approach to data. When done well, institutions can use engagement data to successfully increase understanding of and buy-in for engaged work, advocate for its recognition in promotion and tenure policies, and ultimately develop a broader acceptance of engagement as a key strategy for accomplishing institutional goals. This presentation will share an analysis of how 40+ institutions are actively working to build a culture of engagement through the strategic collection and use of engagement data on their campuses.
