Your Data is Powerful, Learn How to Use It

Decisions driven by data are critical to ensuring that our institutions are running efficiently and effectively. We need to understand how operations are running and the impacts of the utilization of services. Budgets are getting tighter. We're being asked to not only do more with less, but to be impactful with our services. Every student community of one wants to be heard and accommodated. We need to tailor our services for each student's journey. We can only do that by looking at the data.
