Consultation and Coordination
We connect people with relevant data to support strategic decision-making. We co-lead the Student Data Network with UAIR which cultivates strategic partnerships between data stewards across campus. A&R offers customized support for new assessment projects from planning, data collection, analysis and use of findings.
