Data, Academic Planning & Institutional Research

Join us November 19 at 10 am via Zoom for the Badger Data Network

In November, Brad Sanders, DAPIR's Director of Enterprise Data Management, joins us to discuss the Badger Data Platform, a new UW—Madison enterprise institutional data ecosystem that comprises services and tools designed to advance the use of our data and data-informed decision-making, simplifying data access.

The Badger Data Network brings together data, analytics, visualization, and business intelligence enthusiasts, promoting the use of institutional data to support progress and implement strategic initiatives.

It serves as the central hub for promoting the use of available resources, discussing best practices, and fostering effective communication about institutional data.

The group meets on the third Wednesday of every month from 10:00 to 10:50 am. All are welcome.

The 2024-2025 Data Digest, showcasing key UW–Madison metrics, is available.

The Data Digest provides comprehensive information about students, faculty, staff, budget, and expenditures.

It is possible to measure many of the attributes of the university in a variety of different ways, depending on other definitions. However, the official numbers and definitions are often an important point of reference.

The Data Digest is published annually, around March of each year and shares many of UW–Madison's key metrics.
