WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Three universities were selected from more than 120 nationwide to receive 2014 Student Success Collaborative Awards, the Education Advisory Board (EAB), a division of The Advisory Board Company, announced today.  The Awards recognize institutions and leaders who are improving student outcomes by using data and analytics to predict which students are more likely to drop out and proactively intervening with students at risk. 

These institutions achieved impressive results, including first-year retention increases as large as 4.7% and 8.3%, while the national retention rate for first-year college students has remained nearly constant since 2009 according to the National Student Clearinghouse. 

Purdue University Calumet, California State University Long Beach, and Southern Illinois University Carbondale are among 120 colleges and universities nationwide that participate in EAB's Student Success Collaborative™— a membership that leverages best practice research, predictive analytics, and consulting to help colleges and universities improve retention and increase graduation rates. 

Award details are as follows:

  • Purdue University Calumet (PUC) received the Data-Driven Impact Award.  Over the past two years, PUC enhanced data deployment to better serve students.  Academic advisors now use data to optimally allocate tutors, outline specifically which classes students need to take to graduate in four years, and trigger mandatory advising for students on probation.  Advisors within various colleges also identify, track, and proactively reach out to at-risk students.  These data-driven practices contributed to a first-year, full-time retention increase of 4.7 percentage points.
  • California State University (CSU) Long Beach Associate Vice President of Enrollment Services Thomas Enders was recognized with the Visionary Leadership Award.  Enders worked closely with senior administrators and academic advisors to ensure advising staff received technology that enabled them to easily identify which students were struggling academically and to orchestrate informed interventions with at-risk students.  Enders successfully managed and sustained change on his campus, transforming the use of data in academic advising at CSU Long Beach.  Enders' Leadership builds on a long history of student success improvement at CSU Long Beach; in the past five years, first-time freshman six-year graduation rates increased by more than 20%.
  • Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIU) received the Collaborative Citizenship Award, honoring its commitment to sharing best practices with other members of the Student Success Collaborative.  One such practice was SIU Carbondale's targeted outreach to students with similar risk characteristics, which improved advisor interactions by matching campus resources and advice to student needs and specific risk factors.  SIU Carbondale's academic advising best practices contributed to an 8.3 percentage point improvement in the retention of first-year, full-time students from Fall 2013 to Fall 2014.

"These institutions have shown national leadership in strategically supporting students through the use of data.  Academic advisors at these schools are helping students stay on a path to success by intervening before there's a problem – and getting students the resources they need to graduate," said Scott Schirmeier, Executive Vice President at EAB.  "Students and schools both win when institutions get access to data that elevate the art of advising."

Georgia State University Vice Provost and Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Success Timothy Renick received the inaugural Student Success Collaborative Award in 2013 on behalf of the university.  In this video he shares how SSC helped Georgia State translate data into strategies that significantly narrowed the achievement gap.
