These sessions have facilitated discussions on the strengths and weaknesses pertaining to data literacy and data-informed decision-making within the university. Additionally, participants have started collaborating on group projects focused on two critical aspects of student success and retention: evaluating the performance of students\u00a0entering UMaine who had graduated from high school with\u00a0high GPAs, and analyzing the relationship between retention rates and student engagement levels, as measured by the National Survey of Student Engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year-long program is set to conclude in December, culminating in the presentation of final projects. This initiative has proven to be a valuable opportunity for OIRA to engage in collaborative efforts with faculty and staff, fostering a culture of informed decision-making through engaging discussions and shared insights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IR Data Fellows Program, aimed at expanding data utilization and literacy across campus, began in January.
