WEBINAR DETAILS
Transforming Minority Student Success from the Top Down
and Bottom Up
Date: Wednesday, March 29, 2017
Time: 2:00-3:00 p.m. Eastern
Price: Complimentary
Dear Diane,
Everyone seems to be interested in the concept of noncognitive factors and their potential
to affect student success, particularly with traditionally underserved populations. But
there are many questions around application, implementation and use.
Join this complimentary webinar, Transforming Minority Student Success from the Top Down
and Bottom
Up<http://www.diverseeducation.com/webinars-details/2017/webinar-03-29...;,
sponsored by Educational Testing Services (ETS), to learn about two different approaches –
both large- and small-scale – for assessing and addressing noncognitive factors.
Two case studies using these approaches will be discussed in the webinar:
* Success from the Student Perspective: The “Bottom-Up” Approach - The first case
study, PROJECT SUCCESS at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, focuses on
student success for men of color. As a commonly identified traditionally underserved
population, this example will demonstrate how institutions can target and understand the
strengths, challenges and strategies related to success from the student perspective: the
“bottom-up” approach.
* Holistic Assessment and Advising to Improve Student Success: The “Top-Down” Approach
- The second case study is an institutional initiative put forth at North Carolina
Agricultural and Technical State University, an HBCU that integrated noncognitive
assessment into its campus advising processes. This “top-down” approach will demonstrate
how holistic assessment and advising can inform institutional strategies to improve
student success metrics such as retention and graduation rates.
The goal of this webinar is to demonstrate both student-level and institution-level
actions to improve graduation and retention rates, based on a holistic understanding of
the key factors that relate to student success.
There will be time for questions at the end. Feel free to send questions in advance to
