NACCU Data Summit
Use the data you already have in your hands!
NACCU Data Summit
NACCU understands that utilizing the data in your card systems to generate insights and assist your campus in knowledge-based decision making is a dream of many Vice Presidents and leadership on campuses. This task can be daunting and deciding where to start can be the biggest hurdle. Furthermore, developing processes to achieve consistency in data preparation across platforms may make this seem impossible. But if you do not utilize the power in your data, are you really making the best decisions for your campus? Your tools and expertise are only as valuable as the ability to take advantage of them. That is what NACCU wants to help you do!
It does not matter what platforms you are using – this training will teach you how to be a data hero! Multiple focus groups have reviewed… this program will change how you work on your campus!
