Using Change Management to Close the Assessment Loop
20 August 2026 // 2:00PM – 3:00PM ET

If change doesn’t occur through assessment, did assessment really happen? Assessment is incomplete without change. This session explores how integrating change management theory into assessment practice helps close the loop, inform improvement, and move beyond compliance. Presenters will overview key theories and lead a discussion on practical strategies for using assessment to effect and sustain meaningful change.

ACPA2GO: Data to Dialogue: Humanizing Retention Strategies
2026-09-17 15:00 - 16:00
Data to Dialogue: Humanizing Retention Strategies
17 September 2026 // 3:00PM – 4:00PM ET

Institutions of higher education have long relied on quantitative data such as GPA, retention rates, and credit accumulation to explain why students persist, transfer, or withdraw. While valuable, these numbers often flatten the student experience, overlooking the complex personal, social, and cultural dimensions that shape persistence. This session explores how integrating qualitative approaches such as narrative inquiry, focus groups, and student storytelling provides a more holistic picture of student success and attrition. By examining case studies and examples, participants will see how student voices illuminate gaps in institutional support and challenge assumptions hidden in traditional metrics. Attendees will leave with concrete strategies for designing mixed-method retention studies, framing student narratives as actionable data, and using these insights to inform equity-driven policies and practices. Ultimately, the session argues that to truly support retention, higher education must move beyond metrics and embrace the humanity behind the numbers.

Utilizing a Critical Theory of Love In Our Social Justice Work
23 September 2026 // 2:00PM – 3:00PM ET

Grounded in Black liberation theology and Black feminist thought, this session explores how Western constructs of love uphold oppression and limit our capacity for transformation. Participants will engage a Critical Theory of Love framework to interrogate how we’ve been socialized by love, and how we might reclaim it as a tool for healing, accountability, and liberation in educational and social justice practice.
