How are you leveraging data to drive change on your campus?
Mark your calendars for June 16th at 12 PM (ET) for another can't-miss episode of Industry Insights with Traci Steehler (Director for Student Success & Engagement at Suitable). In her fifth episode, Traci welcomes representatives from the Consortium of Organizations on Student Affairs Assessment (COSAA) for a timely panel discussion on the growing importance of using data to continuously improve and inspire real change in Student Affairs.
Today, many institutions are inundated with data, sitting on a treasure trove of information. Yet, they still find themselves stuck in a ‘data-trap, meaning they are data-rich but fail to put it to good use. Why? According to NASPA’s 2025 Top Issues survey, 69% of senior leaders struggle to translate data into actionable insights for decision-making. VPSAs find it hard to prove value to the Provost, and frontline staff are often too stretched to make assessment a priority. The challenge isn't collecting more numbers—it's moving past the spreadsheet to drive campus change.
Panel topics include:
- Storytelling without a data science degree or team member.
- Closing the loop: moving from knowing to doing, collaboration, and translating value.
- Turning niche data into impact statements that resonate with stakeholders.
- Live questions/topics from the audience!
