Digital Tools
Goal 2: Provide digital tools and information to help students develop effective academic plans and deepen their co-curricular engagement. Goal 2 supports academic excellence and a thriving and inclusive community. Its strategies improve tools to help students become engaged in co-curricular programs and work with their advisors to plan their academic careers and participation in high impact practices. Goal 2 further personalizes students’ experience by assisting offices that serve them to better communicate with one another and track their engagement with a student.
Initiatives
- Develop advisor dashboards with information about students’ interests, and co-curricular engagement.
- Create "digital" planning worksheets for students and advisors to develop preliminary forecasts of their 8 semesters of course work and engagement in internships, study abroad, and other high impact programs.
- Improve existing and seek new tools to help students discover, schedule, and join activities and events that match their personal, academic, and career interests.
- Leverage technology to create a shared “case management” system that helps offices that interact with students track these interactions and share appropriate information as they refer students to one another.
- Leverage mobile technologies to assist incoming students to plan and track their own co-curricular engagement plan and for juniors and seniors to plan and track the activities and support services they should engage with as they transition to engaged alumni.
