A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs and initiatives:
In summer 2017, the College established its first Vice President level position with a focus on both Student Affairs and Diversity and Inclusion. Over the last year and half, the Division of Student Affairs, Diversity and Inclusion has undergone a full reorganization to align outcomes with structure and systems. One important part of the reorganization has involved looking at data both related to the functions of Student Affairs as well as diversity and inclusion college-wide. The information collected has been used to identify trends, gaps and opportunities, to make financial investment decisions at every level of the institution, to develop new policy and to inform new initiatives and interventions both in academic and co-curricular settings. Data has also been used to inform decisions by College administrators and Trustees. Our overall institutional Diversity and Inclusion assessment plan (in process) contains various elements designed to document and report on the student experience, as well as that of employees and other stakeholders. Sources of data collected include, but are not limited: Champlain's annual institutional D&I Scorecard *D&I related questions in the Student Satisfaction Inventory by Ruffalo Noel Levitz *D&I module questions within NSSE or National Survey of Student Engagement *Data gathered about student disciplinary and bias reports *Feedback provided by students through the faculty/class evaluation process at the end of each semester *D&I related questions in biannual Great Colleges to Work for Survey by Modern Think completed by faculty/staff *Culture of Consent Survey for students *Annual reports and data collected by the Student Affairs team
