Data User Advisory Group
IAR's Data User Advisory Group is a critical pillar of our data user support process. This group meets once a month to perform user testing and provide feedback on dashboards and other reports before they are released to the campus and the public. The testing and feedback this group provides ensures that IAR produces dashboards and reports that are useful, understandable, and easy to use for all data consumers on campus. Group members also serve as an important source of information back to campus departments on newly available and updated data tools.
