Unwind at the Terrace for July's Badger Data Network

July's Badger Data Network is an in-person social gathering on Wednesday, July 15, at 4:00 pm at the Terrace.

In case of inclement weather, we will meet on Wednesday, July 22, at the same time and place.

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. Usually, the group meets on the third Wednesday of every month from 10:00 to 10:50 am.

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.
