Connecting Career Outcomes, Equity Gaps, and ROI in Higher Education: The Strategic Role of Student Affairs
Includes a Live Web Event on 04/11/2025 at 11:00 AM (EDT)
Education is a long-term investment. It can take years before a graduate truly understands and appreciates how their postsecondary experiences prepared them for life after college. In Student Affairs, this presents challenges in measuring the impact of their work on student success. This session uses data from the National Alumni Career Mobility survey to highlight alumni perceptions of their undergraduate experience and student affairs' role in closing equity gaps to impact student success after graduation.
Learning Outcomes
1. Articulate the connection between their work in student affairs and the long-term success of students beyond graduation, using alumni data to support their understanding
2. Examine how to apply data from alumni surveys to enhance student affairs programs, focusing on increasing the value of higher education and addressing equity gaps in student and alumni success
3. Identify actionable steps to improve equity and value in higher education outcomes
