    Where do you begin to develop a structure of assessment within a division that has operated without one? This webinar will focus on taking attendees through the foundational year of building structure and staff capacity for assessment at a community college's division of student affairs. Included are steps to teach learning outcome development in the co-curricula. There will be visuals on assessment plans, tools used to teach assessment and data literacy through an equity lens.

    Dr. Chrissy L. Davis Jones

    Vice President, Student Success and Chief Enrollment Officer

    HACC Central Pennsylvania's Community College

    Dr. Chrissy Davis Jones currently serves as the vice president for Student Success and chief enrollment officer at Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC) in Central Pennsylvania with nearly 25 years of experience at various post-secondary institutions, and with 18 of those years focused on developing, restructuring, and implementing student success-related programs. 

    Since Chrissy arrived at HACC, she has quickly made an impact by securing a 2.3-million-dollar Title 3 SIP Grant to transform the first-year experience for greater student success. She also oversaw the selection of HACC becoming one of seven colleges selected to become an Achieving the Dream institution in 2022 - focusing on whole college transformation for student success and data literacy. Lastly, Dr. Davis Jones established and co-leads the College's strategic enrollment planning committee. Her focus on the implementation of a collegewide strategic enrollment plan with student access and success at the center led to an increase in HACC's fall-to-fall and fall-to-spring retention for the first time in 10 years. 

    Dr. Davis Jones is considered a systems thinker; this coupled with her research and data-informed approach, has led to Chrissy being asked to serve as a consultant to higher education institutions in need of support to facilitate change.

Shelly credits her experience in overseeing the launching of student services at an expansion campus with readying her for the work she currently does.

    The webinar begins to answer three important questions about the process of developing assessment within student affairs, 1) Where are you? In other words, where is the institution with regard to what is currently in place. What is the current process, policy and procedure that exists? This means a situational analysis of what currently exists is at the foundation of the start. 2) Where do you need to be? It is important to begin with an end in mind. What would you or your supervisor like to see after building the process for conducting assessment has been developed? 3) What are the steps you need to take to get there? There will undoubtedly be differences based on institutional culture however, beginning the process by answering these three questions will be an excellent starting point for any assessment leader who is beginning to build a structure of assessment.

    Learning Outcomes:

    1. Outline tasks associated with building structure and staff capacity for assessment within student affairs
    2. Explain how to teach outcome development in the co-curricular with an emphasis on learning outcomes
    3. Name a “hidden” component required for staff to effectively conduct assessment
    4. Recognize one strategy to keep equity work infused in your work and at the forefront

    You decided what to assess, you collected the data, and you analyzed the data. Now, you are sitting at your desk with a mountain of pivot tables, bar charts, and sentiment analyses, trying to figure out how to turn numbers into actions. Sound familiar? This session will share lessons learned from interviews with ten directors who took their assessment and used it to make changes within their organization. Together, we will learn from their successes and discuss strategies to apply their ideas on our campuses.
