This webinar will discuss how student data analytics can be used to make better informed decisions pertaining to Academic Affairs.

One of the key initiatives of ISU's strategic plan was to strengthen the gathering and use of information to advance ISU's strategic priorities with fact based decision making. Initial plan successes include: significant enrollment increases, better coordination of hiring, improved alumni and parent engagement, and enhanced community, regional, and state relations. This webinar will discuss, from a managerial perspective, how ISU successfully implemented its analytical data warehouse project fulfilling this vital strategic initiative.

Critical issues discussed are: effective team building, communications, change and project management, ISU specific student information system modifications, and moving decision-makers toward the increased use of data. ISU will share advice on how institutions can achieve similar success during the first stages of the start-up and roll-out of a data analytics/reporting solution.
