Data Driven Decision Making Series The ability to read, understand, create and communicate with data is an important skill to help drive your organization forward and propel your career. This three-part series will give you the skills to understand the importance of using data for decisions, finding and using data at SLCC, and communicating with data.

Data Driven Decision Making Overview The first class in the series is focused on data-driven decision making—an approach to business governance that values decisions supported by verifiable data. Making team or business decisions should involve more than just your gut! This introduction to data-driven decision making will answer questions such as: What are the benefits of using data to guide organizational and team decisions? What are the costs of not using data? Why are metrics so important? What must be done before you can select meaningful metrics? What makes a metric useful? How do I make sense of all this data? What do I do when the data tells me there is a problem? How can I effectively communicate what I learn from data to others? This course is great for managers, leaders and anyone who wants to get a better understanding of how to use data to make better decisions.

Data Literacy This course will cover questions such as: How do I collect and access data for decision making? How do I understand what data means including reading graphs appropriately? How do I draw correct conclusions from data and recognize when data is being used in misleading or inappropriate ways? This course is great for managers, leaders and anyone who wants to get a better understanding of how to use data to make better decisions at SLCC.

Data Visualization and Communicating with Data You have data that you want to share with others to help them make a decision, but what’s the best way to show it to them?

Should you use a bar chart or a pie chart? In this course we’ll use examples to show the good and the bad of visualizing data to communicate the message you intend. We’ll cover how storytelling is important in data to help others understand and buy into your message so that they want to act on it. By the end of the course, you will be able to effectively communicate your findings to others in your organization.

Michelle Kolbe, Director, Data Science and Analytics, Institutional Effectiveness, michelle.kolbe@slcc.edu

Cognos Training for Beginners This course will give you skills needed to build reports in Cognos that will allow you to access SLCC data (including courses taken, awards earned, etc.).

TRACK 2: INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY SLCC is the most diverse higher education institution in Utah. We must work constantly to ensure everyone feels welcome, has what they need for success and is treated with respect on our campuses.

Inclusivity and equity is our mantra, embedded in the fabric of our college, to serve all our constituents and the broader community.

Supporting and Retaining Under-represented Students Undocumented Student Ally Training Local and national policies continually affect the access undocumented students have to higher education. In light of high educational aspirations, the misinformation, lack of information and constant apprehension faced by undocumented students make them a vulnerable population for not enrolling or succeeding in higher education. This online Canvas course seeks to ameliorate these informational shortcomings by providing an overview of the current landscape impacting undocumented students. This training lays the foundation for understanding state and national policies affecting this population, and describes the process through which faculty and staff can serve as a resource to students who are undocumented. (Online, 4 hours) Richard Diaz, Director, First Year Experience, richard.diaz@slcc.edu

College Student Mental Health: What You Should Know and What You Can Do The purpose of this presentation is twofold: first, to increase awareness of the current status and dimensions of mental health problems among today’s college students; and second, to provide strategies to assist faculty and staff to intervene effectively with students with mental health problems to get them the help they need. A broad range of topics are covered including college student mental health as it relates to issues of inclusivity, stigma, academic impact and the causes and indicators of distress. Also covered are practical strategies for making contact with students in distress, dealing with students at risk for suicide and referring students with mental health issues to appropriate campus resources.

Student Veterans 101

Unveiling the Unconscious

This presentation is delivered from the perspective of Education, VA Health Care and VA Benefits. We will provide an overview of veterans’ strengths and difficulties they face, including readjustment after deployment, post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury and depression. We will review community and VA resources available to veterans and will provide tips for college faculty and staff for working effectively with student veterans including ways to be “Veteran Friendly.”

Recent work has shown that we all carry with us implicit biases. Biases can have a significant impact on communication, decision-making, perceptions and beliefs about others. Does unconscious bias also impact the way we teach or develop curriculum? How can someone’s race, gender, age and other characteristics influence how we see and treat them even when we are genuinely trying to be unbiased? What concrete steps can we take to help prevent this from happening? Through presentations, lively activities and discussions, we will explore some harmful side effects of how our brains naturally perceive, categorize and draw inferences about the world, including other people.

Participants will learn how to explore their own personal unconscious biases and be introduced to approaches that may help them be aware of how their biases may play out in how they teach and develop curriculum.

Michael Foster, VetSuccess on Campus Counselor, Department of Veterans Affairs, michael.foster@va.gov

Supporting and Retaining Refugee and Immigrant Students This workshop will explore how faculty and staff can better understand SLCC students’ cultural background and lend support to these students.

We will cover how this impacts care, what puts a caregiver at risk and how a caregiver can cope and rebuild a life filled with fatigue.

Coping with Holiday Stress for Caregivers Holiday stress comes from holiday expectations, holiday challenges across cultures, spending more time indoors, gray skies, sundowning and other challenges.
