Suess emphasized that becoming a data-driven university requires changing the institution’s culture, calling on IT leaders to highlight how data can support institutional goals. “Whether that’s in building faculty research, in student success, in rethinking teaching and learning through learning analytics, data is going to be essential if you’re going to do things differently,” he said.
