Experiential Record Initiative
The Experiential Record at Naz is a systematic, campus-wide data collection process created to track all undergraduate and graduate students’ levels of engagement in experiential education opportunities.
Centralizing this knowledge and gathering various, independent streams of data into one place enables faculty and staff to better support students through advising and coaching, identify appropriate support strategies for specific populations, further strengthen relationships with community partners, as well as leverage stories for marketing and donor relations.
