The poster presentation reports on methods and findings from a needs assessment of an academic advising department at a private, liberal arts university. The purpose was to develop a profile of the student who is most in danger of going on academic probation at some point during his or her career at the institution. The evaluation focused on synthesizing large amounts of existing university data to produce meaningful feedback to advising personnel. #NeedsAssessment #2011Conference #GraduateStudentandNewEvaluators #AssessmentinHigherEducation
