The presentation provides a general introduction to the new iTwo Data Visualization interface and tools. It is tailored to all new and old iTwo users with varied levels of experience, and for those with an interest in the new system. The main objective is to address the question, ‘Why should a user choose the Data Visualization interface over the Classic interface?’

We will cover:
- An overview of the iTwo Data Visualization (DV) interface
- How to create a workbook
- The wide range of visual elements offered by iTwo Data Visualization (DV)
- How to create multiple visualizations on a single workbook canvas
- Additional features such as conditional formatting

The main goal is to improve users' confidence in utilizing the newly released iTwo Data Visualization Interface.

Penn State employs many units across the University with a focus or dedication to student analytics and reporting. Regardless of campus affiliations and unit affiliations, approaches to analytics too often default to only include post-hoc reporting; it is then up to the consumers of these reports to integrate insights into operations. There are many ways to make reports, analytics, and dashboards more applied and action-oriented without necessarily needing sophisticated programming and machine learning. Sometimes there are opportunities to take what seems to be a one-off research question and deliver findings in an interactive and practical way. This presentation will discuss a case study of how the Data Empowered Learning Team collaborated with the Office of the University Registrar to create a useful and novel tool for estimating total course enrollments of first year students given unknowns about the upcoming cohort size. The initial ‘ask’ was simply to provide an estimate for most impacted courses based on a single estimate of the incoming first year cohort. The solution was a look beyond a static report, to understand the underlying needs driving the ‘ask’, and create an interactive and functional tool with adaptability and nimbleness during a period with a lot of unknowns. We will talk through the enrollment calculator project, the approach, the design, and how it has been useful in practice. We will also talk more generally about how approaching research questions with curiosity can tweak perspective towards a more operationalizable deliverable. Participants will hear about the enrollment calculator case study, gleaning tips and strategies for bridging reporting with integration into an action-oriented context for consumers.

This presentation will explore the development and impact of enrollment projections for World Campus, focusing on student categorization and target setting. The World Campus enrollment model incorporates admissions data, retention trends, and internal initiatives to predict future student headcount and establish goals. This session will demonstrate a nuanced approach to creating and adjusting a model based on students’ pathways to enrollment and categorization into meaningful types such as new degree applicants, continuing, and re-enrolled students. It will also provide an overview of the annual cycle for updating enrollment goals and tracking performance against targets and projections. Aimed at data professionals, unit leaders, and anyone interested in World Campus student data, this session will offer valuable insights into how data modeling can shape strategic planning and enhance enrollment management.

The presentation offers a brief overview of simple dashboard creation in the newly released iTwo Workbooks. It is designed for intermediate to advanced iTwo users, as well as those interested in exploring the new iTwo dashboarding functionality. We will highlight the ease of use and reduced complexity of creating dashboard-style analyses (Workbooks) compared to the previous version of the iTwo environment. Users will have the opportunity to learn about iTwo Workbooks, advanced filters, parameters, and visualizations. The main goal is to boost users' confidence in creating dashboards within iTwo Workbooks.

Target Audience:
This presentation is designed for mental health professionals, social workers, community leaders, and policymakers working with displaced populations, particularly Ukrainian migrants. It will also benefit organizations supporting immigrants and those interested in trauma recovery, resilience-building, and acculturation processes. Audience Needs and Challenges:
The audience faces the challenge of addressing the unique mental health and psychosocial needs of Ukrainian refugees, who often experience trauma, and acculturation stress. Many professionals seek evidence-based approaches and practical tools to support this population effectively.
Objectives:

• To provide an overview of the psychosocial challenges faced by Ukrainian migrants in the U.S.
• To share findings from a three-stage study exploring trauma, resilience, and acculturation.
• To introduce a DBT-based psychosocial intervention designed to address trauma, foster resilience, and mitigate acculturation stress.
• To offer actionable strategies and tools for practitioners working with refugee populations.

Main Points:

• The impact of displacement on Ukrainian refugees: key findings from surveys and interviews.
• The role of resilience in navigating trauma and acculturation stress.
• Insights from implementing a DBT-based psychosocial intervention: methods, outcomes, and lessons learned.
• Practical recommendations for supporting Ukrainian migrants and other displaced communities.

After attending this presentation, participants will:

• Gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by Ukrainian refugees.
• Learn evidence-based strategies to support trauma recovery and resilience-building.
• Acquire tools for fostering acculturation and well-being in displaced populations.
• Be better equipped to create supportive environments for refugees within their communities and organizations.
