-Lincoln has embarked on a department-wide transformation of advising and retentionpractices to support undergraduate student success. The department has three undergraduatemajors across two different colleges. The motivation for the transformation included rapidlychanging advising systems and processes at the institutional level, institutional goals forretention and graduation rates, faculty, and staff desire to enhance student belonginess in thedepartment, and increased faculty-staff partnership. The theoretical framework used for thetransformation was the ecological validation model designed to foster student success byfocusing on the strengths, needs, and experiences of students. The model is based on sevenbehavioral norms and was

updated student standards, rapidly changing impacts of artificial intelligence (AI), andan increasing number of school systems requiring a CS class for graduation. In order to preparefor these changes – as well as to address the equity issues that have plagued CS since its inception– we engaged in a project designed to reimagine content and pathways for high school CSeducation. As a collaborative project, we hosted multiple events for relevant parties (includingK-12 educators and administrators, higher education faculty, industry professionals, state anddistrict CS supervisors, and CS education researchers). These events were designed tocollaboratively seek input for the creation of a series of reports recommending what a CS coursethat satisfies

gamesare too difficult or expensive to use. For this purpose, the board game Markopoly was designed to aid in the teaching ofdiscrete-time Markov chains in a junior-level industrial engineering class, ProbabilisticOperations Research (POR). Markov chains represent a form of mathematics and a way oflooking at the world that most of the students have never seen before, and many of them strugglewith the concepts – how to use them, what the different statistics mean, and which ones to use inwhich situations. Markopoly was designed to help guide students through the concepts usingmore open-ended questions than is typical for a class assignment. Four different versions of thegame were played in class by groups of two to five players, and then

At thebeginning of the Strategic Plan’s implementation, ‘best practices’ as a term was ubiquitous likelydue to its use in a range of spaces such as education, research, business, industry, and publicpolicy. Furthermore, IWGs needed a way to describe the various development stages that a givenpractice may be in so that entities could use recommended practices appropriately. This led to thedevelopment of shared definitions for evidence-based, emerging, and promising practices.The definition for evidence-based practices was inspired by the National Institutes of Health’s(NIH’s) definition of evidence-based medicine.Definition 4.3 (evidence-based
