Advancing Equitable Student Success through Changes in Campus Policy, the Use of Student Data, and Course Redesign
This is the first installment in a series of briefs exploring campus outcomes from participation in the Network’s Middle Leadership Academy (Academy), authored by Thad Nodine, Ph.D. This initial brief focuses on Chico State, highlighting the impactful efforts of its teams to implement changes aimed at enhancing equitable student success outcomes. Through insights and strategies developed during Academy sessions, participants have leveraged their experiences to align the campus’s Advancing Equity Project (AEP) initiatives with broader campus goals, such as those outlined in the university’s Graduation Initiative (GI) 2025. Led by Kaitlyn Baumgartner Lee, Ed.D., and Kate McCarthy, Ph.D., the AEP showcases collaborative, sustainable approaches informed by Academy participation, driving equitable student success and closing equity gaps in academic performance.
