Virtual

2023 Data Literacy Institute Convening

As a member of the Powered by Publics community, you are invited to the Data Literacy Institute’s virtual convening on May 15th from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Eastern Time.  Register here to learn how nine PxP institutions benefited from bringing together a cross functional group of individuals who addressed student success issues using data and analytics.

The Data Literacy Institute (DLI) is a partnership effort of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) and the Association of Institutional Research (AIR), with support from Ascendium Education Group. The DLI aimed to improve data literacy among faculty and staff at 10 institutions with the broader goal of improving student success outcomes. Central to this goal is increasing skills and knowledge in the use of data to inform strategic, tactical, and operational decisions related to student success.

Representatives from participating institutions will present the results of their experience with the DLI, including the problems they sought to address with data on campus. Convening participants will be invited to share challenges they face in their own work, and hear recommendations for building a more data literate culture on campus.

The virtual DLI Convening is free.  A recording of the event will be made available for review and to those who could not attend.

Public university leaders have spent years creating and testing solutions to help students succeed in college, complete their degrees, and be well-prepared for the workforce. These efforts have achieved significant success at individual institutions, but have not been fully brought to scale across the public higher education sector.

That’s why nearly 125 institutions have joined together to increase college access, student, and postsecondary attainment. The initiative, called Powered by Publics: Scaling Student Success, represents the largest-ever collaborative effort to improve college access, advance equity, and increase college degrees awarded.

To achieve this vision, APLU's Powered by Publics initiative has convened nearly 125 change-ready institutions within 16 “transformation clusters” – reaching 3 million undergraduate students, including 1 million Pell Grant recipients. Each cluster is focused on solving different pieces of the student success puzzle as public universities work together to tear down long-standing barriers, eliminate the achievement gap, prepare students to thrive in the 21st century workforce, and collectively increase the number of degrees they award. The clusters are advancing collaborative work in thematic areas of affordability, holistic student supports, and teaching and learning.

Public research universities share a commitment to providing students from all backgrounds an affordable, high-quality education that aligns with workforce needs. APLU will work with the institutions in the transformation clusters to facilitate a collaborative community of learning so the entire public higher education community can identify and adopt evidence-based practices that drive progress toward equity and college completion.
