Innovative Uses of Funds to Support Undocumented Students This webinar will focus on the importance of intentional, evidenced-based practices to use state investments to support student success. We will share a brief introduction to the state policies that provide these funds (SEAP, AB 1645) and remind our audience of the purpose of these policies. Then we will share examples of colleges that are using the dollars to meet the intent and spirit of those policies. |

Effectively Using Data in a Complex Environment This webinar will focus on the importance of ensuring that undocumented students have equitable access to effective resources and programming, while also acknowledging concerns around anonymity. The goal is to prioritize students by identifying data collection and evaluation approaches that need not rely on unitary student-level data. Which strategies and methodologies can leaders use to meaningfully assess the effectiveness of Dream Resource Centers & Liaisons, AB 540, etc.? This session will also elevate existing and new data that can be used to inform evidence-based decision-making as we continuously improve programs, policies, and practices. |
