AASCU Summer Summit with CampusWorks

Join CampusWorks at the AASCU Summer Summit to explore peer-led strategies, best practices, and innovative solutions addressing today’s higher education challenges in a collaborative setting.

Let’s Talk at AASCU Summer Meeting

Every summer, America’s state colleges and universities come together at the AASCU Summer Institute to confront higher education’s most urgent challenges. This year, the charge is bold and hopeful: to inspire deep and sustained change that leads to a happier future.

At CampusWorks, we share that vision. We believe in building campuses where students, faculty, and staff thrive. Like AASCU, we know that meaningful transformation isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Our students are counting on us.

Real change demands two things: the right information and the courage to act. Our workshop is designed to support both.

From Data to Direction: Making Institutional Intelligence Your Strategic Superpower

Colleges and universities are awash in data but translating that data into decisions that improve student outcomes, inform academic planning, and guide strategic investments remains a major challenge. For academic and student affairs leaders in particular, the stakes are high: enrollment shifts, retention pressure, equity gaps, resource constraints, and growing demands for accountability all demand faster, smarter action.  

Strategic plans may offer a vision, but without actionable insights, it’s nearly impossible to align day-to-day work with long-term goals, or to prove impact in meaningful ways.  

In this workshop, we’ll explore how to turn institutional intelligence into your most trusted leadership advisor. You’ll see how timely, targeted insights can help you strengthen student success initiatives, prioritize academic programs, anticipate risks, and support equitable outcomes across campus. Bring a copy of your current strategic plan, and we’ll get hands-on with how to:  

  • Move beyond raw data to insights that drive measurable improvements in persistence, completion, and student engagement.  
  • Break down silos between data teams, academic affairs, student services, and planning to create shared ownership and clearer priorities.  
  • Anticipate and respond to key challenges, like shifting enrollment patterns, declining engagement, and student risk factors before they escalate.  
  • Use AI and advanced analytics to forecast trends, allocate resources, and support more agile, data-informed leadership.  
  • Lighten the data burden on your team with practical strategies that maximize existing capacity.  

We’ll keep it practical and focused on what works. And we’ll also talk about how to lighten the lift for your team, because no one has extra capacity sitting around. You’ll leave with a clearer roadmap for using institutional intelligence to align strategy with action, deliver meaningful results for students, faculty, and the institution as a whole – and how to make your data work for you, not the other way around.
