Data and dialog are two essential tools for addressing inequities within the college environment. Data provides insights into the present climate and serves as a catalyst for initiating dialog aimed at systemic transformation. In 2023, NDC gathered data from 1) deaf students regarding their college experiences and 2) disability services professionals about their service provision. This session will provide more insight to the data and strategies for participants to engage in dialog focused on using data to transform systems at their college.
