The Badger Data Network, a vibrant community uniting data, analytics, visualization, and business intelligence enthusiasts, promotes using institutional data to support progress and implement strategic initiatives.
It is the central hub for:
- Promoting the use of available resources.
- Discussing best practices.
- Fostering communication.
We meet monthly on the third Wednesday from 10:00 to 10:50 am via Zoom.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 17. Colleagues at other R1 institutions will share their experiences with data governance—including operationalization, stakeholder engagement, challenges and pitfalls, AI integration, and the evolving role of institutional research.
Zoom passcode is WeLoveData.
If you have questions about the community, please email us.
