. As a percentage, this is computed as 0.97or 97%. Grades of A, B, C, D, or F are assigned on traditional break lines (A > 90, 90 < B < 80, 80 0.80) versus C, D, and F (< 0.80). We hopethis approach might resonate with people using assessment data to inform goals for improvedperformance. We use a two-tailed student t-Test to identify any significant gaps between PS reported byfemale and male students and between underrepresented minorities (URM) and non-underrepresented minorities (Non-URM). In each gap analysis, the null hypothesis is that themeans between the two groups are similar. We use the t-Test on the Spring 22 data because ofthe sample size. For the Fall 22 data, we use the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum method [15] to test if

Program focuses on first year students [10,12]. Although it isinteresting that even with no control on academic level there was still a significant increase inconfidence with campus resources.Overall, the program was extremely successful at meeting the desired outcome for students tobecome more knowledgeable about what they need to succeed in their academic and personalsuccess. The data is mixed about whether the program helped them to be more knowledgeableabout themselves. However, all elements of the program: the module on campus resources,Scholar Chats, academic coaching, and the requirement to use campus resources in the modulecan be linked to improvements shown in key areas measured by the survey.References:[1] B.
