Telling the Story of Students’ Learning and Development Beyond the Classroom
There is little question that critical elements of students’ learning and development are fostered through co-curricular experiences, yet fully capturing that learning remains elusive on many campuses. This session will explore institutional opportunities for recognizing and aligning learning beyond the classroom to tell the most comprehensive story about students’ development and success. From shared outcomes to the integration of high-impact practices to meaningful assessment, participants will be encouraged to envision why a holistic approach to students’ learning and development is both practical and essential.
Growing Engagement Through Reflective Practices
At Loyola Marymount University’s College of Business Administration, we have designed our CBA Advantage program to reflect the importance of discernment;a Jesuit value and reflective practice that encourages students to think critically in decision-making processes. Through the CBA Advantage program, a mandatory requirement for all business students, students are incentivized to intentionally engage with their co-curricular experiences. Almost every experience, event, and opportunity has a takeaway component involved. We encourage students to explore and derive personal value, both positive and negative, from their experiences through the heavy use of task activities in the Suitable app. As a result, students work towards building a robust and detailed e-portfolio, composed not by event titles, but by reflective responses they can reference back to when developing career tools.

A Path Toward Holistic Growth: How Compass has Guided ACU Students and Faculty
Since the early brainstorming sessions, Compass was designed to be a university-wide initiative created to give students a customized guide, or Roadmap, for their holistic formation by highlighting opportunities to enrich their time at ACU, setting them up for success after they launch into the world.
By partnering with Suitable as our platform for the Compass program, these concerns are not only beginning to be addressed, but the Compass initiative has since expanded to capture unexpected areas of growth across campus.
In this presentation, a panel of ACU Compass champions will explore (1) how Compass is used to capture holistic growth University-wide, including student life, academics, and chapel;(2) how our College of Business Administration (COBA) has taken the Compass mission and tailored it toward their students, and (3) how our Adams Center for Teaching and Learning has used the same methodology toward Faculty development.

Honors House System 2.0 powered by FORGE
At Purdue University, the John Martinson Honors College and the Division of Residential Life collaborate to implement a “House” system, in which every first-year honors student is assigned to one of five “Houses”. Inspired by the British system of higher education with nods to Harry Potter and Hogwarts over 10 years ago, the House competition along with its faculty guides and student leaders remains a long-standing
In this session, we will share insights about:
-The change management process in transitioning the “House” system from a student-developed app (home grown and managed) to FORGE (Suitable)
-The student engagement trends in support of belongingness and learning beyond the classroom
-The future as we look to deploy “once in a house, always in a house” and to include John Martinson Honors College students in Indianapolis
