About the Organization

The primary purpose of the South Carolina Association for Institutional Research (SCAIR) is to

benefit, assist, and advance research leading to improved understanding, planning, and operation

of institutions of post-secondary education in South Carolina. Research focused on a single

institution or that concerned with groups of institutions fall within this purpose.

In keeping with the dynamic nature of institutions of post-secondary education, our Association

seeks to encourage the application of appropriate methodologies and techniques from many

disciplines. SCAIR also seeks to encourage and facilitate publishing and exchange of ideas and

information with respect to institutions of post-secondary education through our website and

conferences.

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the SCAIR Executive Committee, welcome back to Greenville for the 2020 SCAIR

Conference!

I am once again excited for the opportunity to learn from my peers in South Carolina! Dr.

Kimberly Walker, the SCAIR President-elect and Conference Chair, and the Executive

Committee have organized a comprehensive program of guest speakers and concurrent sessions

that will increase your toolbox of resources and knowledge. As Ben and other SCAIR Presidents

before me have mentioned, the SCAIR conference is an opportunity both to learn from and

network with other IR professionals. Take some time to get to know others who do similar work

at institutions across our state.

As always, the event is made possible by the support of generous exhibitors and sponsors such as

returning exhibitor, Campus Labs. Campus Labs offers unique resources to enhance our efforts

to manage accreditation, assessment, planning, and evaluation functions on our campuses. I

encourage you to spend time with Campus Labs’ representative, Allison Laske, and learn about

the solutions they provide and to express your appreciation for their continued support of the

SCAIR conference.

Thank YOU for choosing to attend this year’s conference. We understand that everyone has

travel limitations to consider when making choices on professional development opportunities,

and we appreciate you choosing SCAIR. For those attending for the first time, we welcome you

and look forward to serving you as you learn and grow in the field and its work. I offer a sincere

thank you to our concurrent session presenters for sharing your knowledge and experiences with

your peers so that all of our institutions can grow stronger. Without your contributions, this event

wouldn’t be possible.

Have an enjoyable and valuable learning and networking experience!

SCAIR are invited to attend a panel discussion presented current SCAIR board members and

facilitated by SCAIR President-elect, Dr. Kimberly Walker. The session is an opportunity to

meet several members of the current SCAIR executive committee, learn about the organization’s

purpose, its history, and the benefits of SCAIR membership, and to network with other

professionals.

CS 2: The Origins of Institutional Effectiveness in Higher Education 110 B

and the Path Forward

Ben Reynolds

Today it is common for colleges and universities to maintain an Office of Institutional

Effectiveness (or, a group of IE staff that functions within a related office on campus). But

institutional effectiveness was not part of the common lexicon of American higher education

until relatively late in the 20th century. In this paper, I explore some of the developments in

higher education which led to the creation of the field known as institutional effectiveness and I

suggest some of the most important directions for the future. The goal of the paper is to provide

critical reflection on the evolution of higher education administration, especially as pertains to

6

the ways in which institutions have navigated increasingly complex relationships with their

stakeholders.

CS 3: Streamlining The Assessment Reporting Process Using SAS 120A

Michael Tucker

This presentation will demonstrate how to generate reports using SAS macro language, custom

SAS style generation, and ODS outputs. There is a universal need for programming solutions to

help ease the burden of reporting on academic offices around the state. Additionally, there is a

charge to develop user friendly reports for general audiences. In our recent efforts to report on

the results of general education assessments at our university, we have developed a generalizable

method to generate reports using SAS. This methodology allows offices to present institutional

data in a consistent and concise format.

CS 4: Modeling Student Success 120B

David Eubanks

In a recent email from SACSCOC President Wheelan, institutions were advised that the student

success standard (9.1) should apply to all types of students, suggesting disaggregation by socio-

economic groups, for example. This session illustrates how the IR office can provide analysis to

inform institutional decision-making with the intent to ensure equal opportunity for all students.

We focus on modeling student retention and graduation, including predictive analysis, student

pathways into majors, and barriers to high impact practices, to demonstrate tools and models that

may be of general use to SCAIR practitioners.

2:45 PM – 3:30 PM Concurrent Sessions:

CS 5: Attracting and Retaining Undergraduate Student Employees in IE 110A

Kadaisha Miller, Kimberly Walker

As a student employee, working in the Institutional Effectiveness and Compliance office

provides a support that is lacking in traditional on-campus student employment. Working in an

IEC office students gain leadership, professionalism, and data managements skills that could

prove transferable and useful for future employment endeavors. As the field of IE grows, it is

important to begin building the pipeline early with students. In order to build the pipeline

students must be (a) aware of the field of IE (b) understand the benefits of employment in the

office and (c) feel mentored and supported towards pursuing the work in the future. This session

will focus on the ways in which students can be identified, attracted, and retained in IE while

enrolled in the university.

CS 6: Faculty Workload Report – A Tool for Academic Leaders 110B

Juan Xu

How to strategically allocate Faculty resource is critical for colleges and universities to

accomplish their mission and goals. To do that, academic leaders need to assess what the current

states are. Per request from the Provost and senior academic leaders, the purpose of the project is

to develop reports to provide academic leaders such as college Deans and department Chairs an

overview if individual faculty instructional load and research productivity. In the presentation,

we are going to share the process from problem statement, stakeholder identification, data

preparation, metrics identification, to final product delivery. We will demonstrate the reports

created using Tableau. Challenges encountered and Lessons learned will be discussed.

CS 7: Building an equitable campus climate: Considerations for 120 A

IR professionals

Al Atkins

The role of institutional equity and chief diversity officers continues to evolve at colleges and

universities across the country. Both in purpose and scope of responsibilities, the necessity of

strong partnerships between diversity officers and colleagues in institutional effectiveness and

institutional research are critical to minimizing harm and enhancing the contributions and

support of marginalized and/or underrepresented populations. This session will seek to explore

the fundamental interplay between these two areas and more specifically, demonstrate how data

driven strategies form the basis for achieving equitable outcomes and promoting wellness.

3:45 PM – 4:30 PM Concurrent Sessions:

CS 8: Autopsy versus Diagnosis and Treatment 120 B

Greg Hawkins, Donna Foster

Program retention data often are treated in a manner akin to an “autopsy”—an after-the-fact

snapshot examination of results and speculation as to the cause. Closer attention to retention

trends, as better medical practitioners attend to changes in a patient’s health over time, is a far

better approach.

This Work Share session demonstrates the value of expanding retention analyses such that

longitudinal trends and variation in rates are emphasized as key indicators of program health and

effectiveness. These analyses offer a clearer picture of “What” is occurring.

But “So What?” An understanding of trends is only optimized by administrative attention to the

data accompanied by additional context to understand positive, negative, or erratic variability.

We discuss how institutional and program administrators use these analyses to establish data-

informed strategies and outcome targets.

8

CS 9: Visualizing Trends to Improve Undergraduate Student Outcomes 110 A

Jonathan Poon

The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how universities can harness the visual

analytics power of Tableau to help stakeholders make informed decisions on how to improve

undergraduate student outcomes. In particular, the visualizations presented will show how an

institution can see the "flow-through" cycle of entering freshmen cohorts to analyze trends and

patterns that have an association with them graduating or not graduating. More specifically, the

audience will see firsthand the capabilities of Tableau and its integration with the free statistical

software R that will allow analyst and stakeholders to make effective decisions on improving

undergraduate student outcomes.

CS 10: Building an Analytics Community at your Institution 110 B

Caroline Maulana

There's never been a better time to be data and analytics involved or adjacent professionals in

higher education. However, as technology begins consumes our day to day, more than ever, the

unique component of people and relationships must be cultivated. Technology, alone, isn't the

answer. Technology will never facilitate a cultural evolution. Technology will never combat

institutional inertia. Technology will never build relationships across university departments. It’s

the people who play the most critical role. BI and analytics initiatives often fall short, higher

education has a growing need for effective institutional analytics. Each of us has the ability to

help ask and answer the most pressing questions at our institutions, spark conversations, and

facilitate beneficial debates that lead to data-based action.

9:00 am – 9:15 am Welcome and Introduction of Speaker Shaw Hall

Kimberly Walker

9:15 am – 10:00 am Keynote Shaw Hall

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Denise Young

Denise York Young joined SACSCOC as a vice president in 2017. Immediately prior, she was

associate provost at the University of North Georgia, where she had responsibility for

SACSCOC accreditation, assessment, and institutional research and facilitated planning

processes. Over the past 30+ years, she has taught and served in administrative positions at a

wide range of institutions — community college, for-profit university, small faith-related

universities, and medium-to–large public universities, and has significant experience with both

traditional and adult student populations in liberal arts and professional programs. These

experiences have provided her with an appreciation for the diversity of institutional mission.

Dr. Young successfully led multiple universities through SACSCOC reaffirmations and several

substantive changes, including a level change and consolidation. Prior to joining SACSCOC, Dr.

Young served as a SACSCOC evaluator on Reaffirmation Committees, Special Committees,

Off-Site Committees, 5th Year Review Committees, and Substantive Change Committees. She

has presented several popular sessions at the SACSCOC annual meeting since 2004. Throughout

her career, she has received four Best Presentation awards at professional conferences — most

recently was at the 2014 Georgia Association for Institutional Research, Planning, and Quality

Conference for An Introduction to the “Art and Science” of Adaptive Leadership for Institutional

Effectiveness/Research Offices. One of her current interests is the application of theoretical

models to leading organizational change in academia.

Dr. Young has completed all three steps of the SCUP Planning Institute. She was selected as a

Fellow for year-long participation in the Leadership Development Institute sponsored by the

Council of Christian Colleges and Universities and as a participant in the Harvard Institute for

Management and Leadership in Higher Education. Her PhD (higher education/educational

research) is from the University of North Texas and her MS (animal science) is from North

Carolina State University. She holds two BS degrees (animal science and mathematics) from the

University of Nevada, Reno.

Dr. Young is a native of Reno, Nevada, and had the distinction of being named in 1988 as the

first Nevada State Demographer. In addition, she worked as a statistician and in the field of

animal science early in her career.

10:15 am – 11:00 am Concurrent Sessions:

CS 11: Modern IR Workflow 110 A

Sara Vanovac

In this session, we demonstrate how open-source software can be used for updating and

maintaining a data warehouse, automatizing the reports, documenting reproducible research and

data analysis, as well as building interactive dashboards. We demonstrate how R can be used to

create workflows that allow for management of team-based projects and accurate and timely

reporting. As an example, we present a dashboard developed for academic chairs that combines

different data sources to provide access to historical trends and data summaries. The audience is

not expected to have prior knowledge of R. Resources on how to get started and scrips will be

provided on request.

CS 12: Problems with Overreliance on Academic Analytics 110 B

Marla Mamrick

Several vendors and Institutional Research (IR) professionals tout the use of academic analytics

as an antidote to the stagnating retention rates in higher education. Machine learning algorithms

are quite useful in analyzing and interpreting complex phenomena. However, they are merely

looking for patterns in datasets, which can lead to erroneous conclusions. As such, overreliance

on these algorithms without scrutiny from an institutional specific higher education perspective

is ill-advised. This phenomenon will be explained within the framework of Terenzini’s three tiers

of institutional intelligence

CS 13: When you’ve got steak at home…A case for leveraging internal 120 A

institutional human capital.

Justin Travis

Whether labeled “data-driven” or “evidence-based,” institutions are increasingly seeking services

that can develop, support, and advance organizational initiatives. These are important practices

that can have far-reaching implications, whether conducted at the macro- (e.g., organizational

change) or micro-level (e.g., updating a website). Despite hiring and retaining talented faculty

and staff members whose expertise may intersect with those practices, leaders in higher

education frequently seek external consultants for a variety of reasons. This presentation makes a

case for leveraging those internal resources when practical, and a discussion of the benefits and

drawbacks of internal vs. external consulting follows.

CS 14: Predictive Analytics – The Game Changer for Greenville 120B

Technical College

Kevin McMindes and Julie Eddy

A partnership between Greenville Technical College and Civitas Learning began in 2016. The

partnership has been a game changer for GTC. Significant lifts in persistence have occurred by

focusing on predictive data insights learned about enrolled students. Come hear how GTC has

used these data insights to learn about Academic Coaching and other Student Success Initiatives,

11

advising, student engagement, student communications, and course selection. The following best

practices will be shared:

how advisors are using predictive analytics to reach out and engage with students on an

individual level,

how faculty are working to improve engagement with the students in their classrooms

using predictive analytics,

how we are centering our communication around specific concepts to effectively nudge

student behaviors towards a positive outcome, and

how we are just now beginning to use predictive analytics in identifying the courses at

key stages of students' academic progression that have the strongest impact on student

success.

11:15 am – 12:00 Featured Session Shaw Hall

CHEMIS and IPEDS Uploads for the Spring 2020 Semester

Kenneth Turner

This discussion will cover the changes and updates for the 2020 IPEDS and CHEMIS data

collection cycles, common data entry mistakes, and the ETL submission process. The South

Carolina Commission on Higher Education is currently embarking on a journey to create

renewed relationships and next generation partnerships with South Carolina’s post-secondary

institutions. Our goal is to establish innovative collaborative working relationship with

institutional researchers to identify common opportunities, challenges, and desired outcomes as

they relate to Higher Education Data. This session will focus on CHEMIS and IPEDS uploads

for the purpose of introduction for new institutional researchers and a review for institutional

researchers that could use a refresher. The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education is

working to make improvements to its current data collection process. The presentation will focus

on the data upload process, deadlines, new changes to IPEDS, and common errors. We will also

be unveiling our newly developed Data Request Form, ETL User Request Form, and how to

navigate them. After the presentation, we will field questions regarding CHEMIS and IPEDS

data uploads.
