Data for Decision Making

FREE Webinar for LU Staff - Data for Decision Making What sorts of data might be necessary for higher education institutions to support their operations? What is currently available? And what kinds of new data might be needed? To answer these questions, Centre MINE is pleased to announce HECD next webinar on data for Decision Making in higher education. The seminar will be facilitated by FSU STTA Dr. Jay Pfeifer on Thursday 15th April 2021 at 3:00 pm. Below is a brief description of the seminar: Higher education institutions need data to inform their operations and ultimately report their progress. It is assumed that there are extant management information systems which, in their design, focus on the exigencies of managing higher education institutions including student enrollments and their “flows” through the education process. An underlying premise of the webinar is that while preserving the systems’ original administrative objectives, the information contained in them may be repurposed around better understanding the flows of students through the institution and, in combination with other information resources, including new and yet-to-be-developed ones, into the labor market, the so-called “Postsecondary Education to Labor Market Pipeline”. The seminar will provide information about similar exemplary efforts, present some “lessons learned” and present the initial steps of a data integration strategy. Target audience: Management, career center, alumni, and registrar professionals Anyone interested can register by accessing the link below by Tuesday 13th April at 6:00 pm the latest. https://tinyurl.com/decision15
