NIU participated in EdSights’ annual PERSIST Summit Oct. 20–22 in Dallas, Texas. The event featured speaker and persistence theorist, Vincent Tinto and spotlighted innovations in student success centering student voices to improve persistence, success and completion outcomes.
NIU staff in attendance gained knowledge about planning automated data integrations between EdSights and Navigate to enhance outreach based on Mission AI responses.
The event also helped identify opportunities to expand reporting and application of student voice scores within the EdSights dashboard. Discussions around sub-population trends, campaign design and retention strategies offered valuable insights to inform responsive outreach efforts here at NIU.
