Navigating the Data Maturity Journey: A Data Analytics Panel Discussion

The Intersection of DEI, Data and Student Enrollment
Zoom Passcode: 884380

Finding and enrolling the right students is more challenging than ever, which makes each stage of the enrollment journey even more critical.

In order to advance diversity, equity and inclusion, you must drive progress through your data. Insight into your student data—from its racial and cultural makeup to geographical recruitment reach—is key to understanding your students’ experiences and the change that needs to happen.

Become a Data-driven Higher Education Institution
When DEI is mission critical, it is a part of everyday institutional problem-solving and decision-making—both during times of crisis and during day-to-day operations.

For this DEI webinar, Datatelligent, a data, analytics and AI solutions firm that works with higher education institutions to help them understand data challenges, will review strategies for evaluating the effectiveness of your DEI data across student recruitment and enrollment initiatives. The webinar will feature a demo of Datatelligent’s DEI Student Outreach Solution Engine that gives higher education leaders a 360⁰ view of the student data, including:
  • Insights into DEI-related recruitment opportunities for high school students
  • Interactive map of counties highlighted by special population indicators and current college attendees
  • Key demographic data (poverty levels, single female households, disability, unemployment rates, etc.)
  • High schools per county displayed with student body demographic details
