The session is built as a conversation: between the two facilitators, and with everyone in the room. Students, staff, and faculty are all welcome and vital to that conversation. <strong><em>You belong at this session<\/em>.<\/strong><br \/><br \/>  We will move in two parts. Dr. Boritz opens with the <strong>how<\/strong>, <strong>why<\/strong>, and <strong>potential of the data<\/strong>, followed by a <strong>Mattering Data Walk<\/strong> that creates space to encounter the findings together, notice patterns, ask questions, and bring our own experiences into the interpretation. Dean Hannon then leads us from what we have <strong>learned<\/strong> to what we will <strong>do<\/strong> with it. Working from real examples of university life, we will examine how students experience themselves as <strong>seen<\/strong>, <strong>valued<\/strong>, <strong>heard<\/strong>, and able to <strong>contribute<\/strong>.<br \/><br \/>  Together we will <strong>identify<\/strong> concrete opportunities to <strong>repair<\/strong> what gets in the way of mattering, <strong>strengthen<\/strong> what is already working, and name small <strong>changes<\/strong> we can begin <strong>testing<\/strong> from wherever we sit within the university.<br \/><br \/><strong>No data expertise is needed<\/strong>, only <strong>curiosity<\/strong> and your own UConn community <strong>identity<\/strong>.
