Empowering Student Success Through Technology-Driven Interactive Dashboards

Session Abstract: In this session, we will showcase how Colorado State University has leveraged interactive dashboards to support stakeholders in making data-informed decisions. The dashboards provide real-time insights into key metrics such as DFW rates, GPA trends, and student demographic characteristics, allowing for the identification of achievement gaps and the development of targeted strategies to close them. Attendees will see firsthand how these tools can be used to inform institutional planning and decision-making, helping stakeholders design interventions to support student success more effectively. By the end of this session, participants will leave with practical strategies for implementing tool-agnostic dashboard solutions at their institutions, enhancing their ability to visualize data and take action to improve equitable student outcomes.
