Data Lake Resource Hub
Building a Student Affairs Data Lake is more than a technology project. It is an opportunity to transform how a division understands, uses, and communicates data.
The UNC Charlotte Student Affairs Data Lake brings together data from across the division to support more connected, efficient, and meaningful assessment and decision-making. The Data Lake Resource Hub shares lessons learned from our experience, including the structures, strategies, challenges, and opportunities that come with developing a centralized data environment for Student Affairs.
Whether you are an executive leader thinking about the big picture or an assessment leader thinking about how to make it happen, this hub is designed to meet you where you are.
