At the meetings, faculty who are members of the COACHE Steering Committee will provide an overview of the survey, including the reported strengths and areas of concern, and facilitate a discussion of next steps.

A preview of the report is available online. It offers comparisons to a set of five GVSU-selected peers and to the larger 2023-2024 COACHE cohort, which includes 85 institutions. Following a recommendation from the Network of Advisors, Grand Valley joined COACHE, a Harvard University Graduate School of Education project, for the 2023-2026 academic years.
