Member QuickTalk | Student Success Meets Analytics: A Conversation on Turning Data into Action

A Collaboration with Jenzabar | 2026 EDUCAUSE Mission Partner

Student success is central to the mission of higher education, helping students persist, achieve their educational goals, and realize the value of their college experience all while benefiting the institution and strengthening outcomes. Supporting student success has become increasingly complex as colleges navigate shifting demographics, evolving student pathways, and increasing pressure to demonstrate both educational and institutional outcomes. In this session, you'll hear Westminster College and Jenzabar explore how institutions can build upon traditional student-success practices with a more data-informed approach that combines institutional knowledge, descriptive analytics, and predictive insight. The conversation will examine how data can help institutions understand who is succeeding, identify students who may need attention, measure whether strategies are working, and ultimately turn insight into action.
