The Regional and National Communication Zones (CZ) to capture and disseminate stories at the chapter and regional level.
Support the Communication Zones to capture and distribute success stories.
The Collegiate Strategic Direction workgroup proposes the following measurement innovations and strategic communication strategies and tactics: • Produce and distribute an Annual Progress Scorecard. • Commission relevant, supportive research studies and white papers that demonstrate the key components of successful interventions. • Host a press conference to the Annual Scorecard and other commissioned studies. • Capture and distribute case studies and profiles of students, chapters and the ecosystem partners contributing to this success. • Consider producing a subscription Journal. • Consider retaining an accountability data analytics firm to produce and distribute dashboards nationally.
The CZ will distribute research studies and an Annual Scorecard.
SANKOFA: BUILDING SET! ON THE STRENGTH OF “GET THREE”
The Collegiate Strategic Direction Workgroup developed their recommendations and strategic direction ideas on the strength of intellectual work documented in NSBE’s previous strategic planning work underpinning its “Get Three” strategies and tactics. Increase Retention. The findings of a recent NSBE study found that collegiate chapters that host Study Groups for math, science, engineering, computer science and other subjects, and promote Skills Development Workshops that teach study and career skills have a higher GPA, on average, than those chapters that don’t. And the higher the GPA, the higher the graduation rate! Finally, studies show that improving engagement with faculty increases retention and success.
Since our goal is to Get Three, by boosting the graduation rate for our members, it goes without saying that we will progressively graduate more members.
