A collaborative, cross-functional team of faculty and staff will focus on this year’s topic, student advising experiences at Cal State East Bay. Recent data from fall 2020 indicate that 27% of students who departed East Bay did not speak with anyone in the campus community about their decision to leave, and 20% of students cited difficulties with their academic advising as a major factor in their decision to not return. The 2021 Data & Action team will engage in a data-driven research process by analyzing results from Cal State East Bay Advising survey results and developing an action plan to enrich advising practices designed to counteract student departure.Outcomes for this year's project are to:
- Explore institutional and survey data to understand student success trends at Cal State East Bay.
- Analyze assessment results related to student experiences with academic advising.
- Integrate equity-minded student success frameworks into student advising practices.
- Develop an action plan to strengthen student advising practices on campus.
- Collaborate across divisions to strengthen institutional commitment to student success.
