November's Badger Data Network: AI in institutional research
In November, we welcome institutional research colleagues from other institutions to share how they use AI in their work. Faced with similar challenges and opportunities, speakers from UC Irvine, Rice University, and the University of South Florida will join us.
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. The group meets on the third Wednesday of every month from 10 to 10:50 am. Please note that in November, our meeting will last until 11 a.m.
All are welcome.
The 2025-2026 Data Digest, showcasing key UW–Madison metrics, is now 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.
