Provide targeted analytics for graduate programs, undergraduate core curriculum and other high-enrollment requirements, emphasizing actionable insights for course improvement and student support.
Partner with instructional support units to translate findings into practical, faculty-usable feedback loops.

STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION, COMMUNICATION, AND ENABLEMENT:

Facilitate requirements gathering with stakeholders to define the right questions, metrics, and success criteria before analysis begins.
Present findings in accessible, jargon-light formats for various audiences (faculty, staff, leadership), including recommendations and tradeoffs.
Provide basic enablement (job aids, short demonstrations, office hours) to improve data literacy and consistent interpretation of metrics.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, GOVERNANCE ALIGNMENT, AND SPECIAL PROJECTS:
