At Texas State, we rely on data every day to guide decisions, track progress, and tell our story. But understanding where that data comes from and what it truly represents is key to using it responsibly and confidently.
This workshop helps staff and decision-makers make sense of TXST's institutional data landscape. Together, we'll explore:
• How data is defined, collected, and used across the university.
• Why numbers sometimes differ across dashboards and reports.
• How to use the institutional data glossary to ensure consistent language.
• What data tools are on the horizon, and how they’ll improve clarity, transparency, and trust in our data.
Whether you're a regular dashboard user or just beginning to engage with institutional data, this session will equip you to interpret data with confidence and contribute to a more transparent, data-informed TXST community.
