Overview

The IRPE Summer-to-Summer Institute provides an immersive 10-month, three-path learning experience for Newcomers, Seasoned Professionals, and Veterans.

This inclusive learning experience for institutional research, planning, and effectiveness (IRPE) professionals focuses on equity-minded leadership and social justice for California’s community colleges. Within this context, participants will identify their goals and learning priorities at the onset of the institute to help unpack how these goals can positively impact student equity and success.

We build community by supporting networking between participants with common goals and interests, providing structured thought partnership engagements, and cultivating deeper mentorship connections where appropriate.

Participants will leverage their Summer-to-Summer Institute learning and relationships to develop and present a Capstone Project that celebrates individuals’ personal and/or professional growth throughout Summer-to-Summer Institute among their peers. Capstone Project celebrations can encompass a wide range of activities, from building IRPE foundations to sharing outcomes from long-term college work projects, to highlighting personal and/or professional learning about equity, diversity, and inclusion within the context of IRPE and California community colleges.

Who Should Attend?

Any IRPE professional who is interested in advancing student equity and social justice at their college or district is invited to participate. The IRPE Summer-to-Summer Institute is a professional development opportunity designed to validate, engage, and build upon the diverse experiences and backgrounds IRPE professionals bring to the field.
