Using Data to Ensure Success

As an important step in the process of developing Harper's next strategic plan, the College held three Data Summits in fall 2024. The summits provided participants with the opportunity to review and provide insights on current data about Harper students and employees as well as the broader community we serve.
Each summit was identical. Data reviewed focused on students, employees, the community, and the workforce and was organized under our SOAR/You Matter; We Care success framework. The Data Summits were held in a World CafĂ© format. This means there was a variety of tables (14), each set up with a different topic/data point and discussion questions. Participants spent time at up to four tables of their choosing reviewing the data and engaging in discussion. Additionally, participants recorded thoughts, feelings and reactions on the paper tablecloths.
