Embedding Equity in Assessment: Training Student Affairs Professionals to be More Equity-Centered
We've all heard the charge that we need to integrate equity-centered assessment into overall student affairs assessment. But has anyone given you specific strategies for training student affairs professionals in these essential assessment principles? In this session, presenters will review key items to include when developing or enhancing assessment training to be more inclusive.

Sophie (she, her, hers) is the Director of Assessment, Data Analytics, and Research at the University of Delaware where she is working to advance equity-centered assessment practices and build a divisional data strategy. She has always worked in student affairs, coming to this field having never served as an RA (gasp!) but was deeply involved in community service programs while in college. This engagement highlighted the importance of thinking about and addressing root causes, the importance of working alongside communities, and the importance of striving for equity, lessons that continue to inform how she approaches student affairs assessment work.
