What if the programs designed to help students were actually making things worse or simply doing nothing at all? It’s a question more institutions are asking as they confront the hard truth: not every initiative leads to better outcomes. This episode takes a closer look at the data behind student success and how colleges and universities can learn which efforts are truly making a difference. You’ll hear from a powerhouse team at Civitas Learning who bring a combined 75 years of experience in higher education. Nova Davidson shares insights from her two decades in enrollment management and advising. Rob Friedhoff, a former advising leader at Grand Valley State, the University of Michigan, and Valdosta State, brings practical wisdom from both large research universities and regional institutions. Nathan Miller rounds out the group with a rich background in online education, curriculum design, and adult degree completion. Together, they explain how the Student Impact Report helps schools track and evaluate the actual effectiveness of their student support programs. The conversation dives deep into themes like segmentation, data-informed action, and how to build a culture of impact without overwhelming your staff. They share real-world examples of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to persistence, career readiness, and belonging. Whether you’re trying to streamline services, personalize support, or measure ROI, this episode offers actionable takeaways and a refreshing reminder that the path to student success starts with asking better questions.
