Topic:
Decoding Metrics: Finding the Story Behind the Data
Description:

Join us for a fun, interactive workshop where we explore how easily institutional metrics can be misunderstood when conext is missing. Using a murder-mystery format, we'll walk through a fictional enrollment "decline" and reveal the hidden factors that shaped the outcome. You'll leave with clearer strategies for asking better questions, understanding data definitions, and avoiding common interpretation traps across campus.
