February 2-4, 2012 SEF held its second MSI Student Learning Outcomes Institute. In addition to featuring nationally recognized experts, the Institute brought together key academic leaders from Minority-Serving Institutions to improve institutional capacity to measure, assess, and articulate student learning. The Institute featured a series of intense workshops, interactive sessions, and campus demonstrations that allowed participants to engage each other on pressing issues related to assessing student learning.
As pre-Institute function, SEF and the Association for Institutional Research (AIR) co-hosted an IPEDS Data and Benchmarking Workshop designed to improve uses of student data and measurements of institutional effectiveness. With support from the National Center for Educational Statistics, SEF is partnered with AIR to offer this workshop specifically for Institutional Researchers at MSIs.
