 Evaluate additional subjects  Student Retention  Space management  Classroom/Class Lab utilization  Square footage  Faculty  Salaries  Attrition  Facilitate Campus Discussion NEXT STEPS

 Peer comparisons are currently limited to IPEDS only.  Gained an understanding of why IPEDS definition is not a “good fit” for UGA.  Recognized the impact on the institution and state when using limited IPEDS definition. LESSONS LEARNED

 Campus-wide and perhaps system- wide discussion greatly needed.  Institutional initiatives will benefit from a comprehensive and cohesive approach to defining STEM.  Consider ways to influence changes in STEM system definitions. LESSONS LEARNED CONT’D
