"From improving student success to forming optimal strategies that can maximize corporate and foundational relationships, data analytics is now higher education's divining rod. Faculty and administration alike make daily decisions that impact the future of our institutions and our students.

How can we optimize those decisions over the coming years? How do we know if we are meeting our goals? Can we use our data to make better decisions?"—Source: EDUCAUSE Review
