Fun With Data:
Whenever you find yourself amid a dull, laborious, and/or repetitive task, and you think to yourself: "there must be a better way to do this..." - there usually is, and it usually involves DATA

In general, working with data improves efficiency and accuracy while saving time and improving services. When "data" has a seat at the decision making table, potential is unbound.

Examples of Tracking Student Data

  • Admissions
  • Graduate Student Tracking System
  • Graduate Assistantships
  • Course Preference Data
Topics in using data to improve services as a CS Professional Programs Coordinator:

1) Admissions Data – DCS' mini-CRM in PeopleSoft (ISIS) and the PCP supplemental app

2) Graduate Student Tracking System - Qualtrics as a student tracking system, and efforts to build a system in PeopleSoft (ISIS)

3) Graduate Assistantships – using data to process the hiring of TAs, RAs, PAs, SAs, etc.

4) Course Preference Data – managing enrollment and wait lists with data
