Understanding Students at IUPUI
|
|
 This PDF titled “Understanding and Leveraging IUPUI Data Sources: Student Recruitment, Enrollment, Retention, and Success” provided by the team in Institutional Research and Decision Support, contains information to improve your understanding of IUPUI students and how you (as a faculty member) play a critical role in enhancing student success and learning.
The slide deck has been designed to provide an overview of IUPUI students: current retention and graduation rates, why students selected IUPUI, recent perceptions and satisfaction with experiences, needs and expectations, test optional student outcomes, practical tips for improving students’ experiences, and more.

More than 40% of IUPUI students are eligible for Pell grants and many of our students report that they need to work lots of hours to help pay for school. It’s important that new faculty know how to best support students who are financially insecure.
We are excited that the Beyond Financial Aid Committee created a website to host tips and tools for IUPUI faculty, staff, and administrators to assist under-resourced students. Check out the FAQs, blog posts, and data to find the best ways you can support your students.

Did you know 1 in 5 freshman students is considered below the poverty line and considered food insecure?
Founded in 2013, the IUPUI Paws' Pantry is dedicated to helping relieve food insecurity in the IUPUI community. All students, faculty, and staff are welcome to shop twice per month using a limit system.
IUPUI Paws' Closet, established in 2018, became the latest effort to support IUPUI students. It's dedicated to helping relieve students' financial burdens related to purchasing clothes.
Consider sharing these resources, making a donation or volunteering your time at the Paws' Pantry or Paws' Closet.

Need-to-Know for New Faculty
|
|
Most new faculty at large public universities enter the professoriate with training and support to conduct research, but few enter with equivalent preparation and support to launch a successful teaching career. The Early Career Teaching Academy (ECTA) provides the setting within which faculty members can develop themselves into powerful teachers who are rooted in a desire for student success through evidence-based active teaching strategies and high-impact educational practices.
The academy begins with asynchronous pre-work online on February 20 and convenes in three intensive morning sessions (Fridays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) on March 10, March 31, and April 14. The academy continues with two additional meetings on September 8 and October 13 (Fridays, from 1 to 3 p.m.). Admission to the Early Career Academy is contingent on agreement to attend all five days.
The Academy invites applications from full-time faculty members in their first, second, or third year of teaching at IUPUI, IUPU Columbus, or Indiana University Fort Wayne. Interested faculty members should submit an application and secure an endorsement by a chair or supervisor.
Apply by Tuesday, January 31.
