Challenges

  • How could the UNC System Office modernize their data collection and provide more value to constituent institutions?
  • How could they make data more actionable and accessible to a variety of stakeholders?

Early Success

  • The creation of an  Admissions Summary Dashboard: With drill-down capabilities for each individual campus, this dashboard draws on data from the UNC System Office's Student Data Mart to provide powerful predictive modeling around admission rates—such as which applicant pool should have the greatest yield. This information has the potential to revolutionize ROI for individual institutions’ marketing and recruiting efforts.
