Annual reporting is an important process requiring coordination and direction as it involves multiple levels of staff members from various offices. Within Student Affairs, annual reporting allows divisions and departments providing programs and services to students to showcase their achievements and articulate connections between efforts contributing to student development and bigger-picture institutional goals and objectives. This webinar will feature member campus contacts, highlighting their annual reporting process at their institutions , including who is involved, what annual reports consist of, how information is collected, and where information is shared. Benefits of annual reporting and lessons learned will also be shared.
