(Re)Introducing DataBit – Join the Campus Conversation!
This summer, the Institutional Research and Effectiveness (IRE) staff began publishing a monthly DataBit. A what?? Yes, we said a DataBit! In computing, a bit is the smallest or most basic unit of information. In a similar fashion, our DataBit series looks to spur campus conversations by focusing on a single data point. We have been visualizing and distributing the DataBit once a month via email. Intrigued? If yes, send an email to tricia.kujawa@llcc.edu to be added to the distribution list. Our next DataBit on “students who work” will be distributed on Thursday, Aug 22. Don’t be left out of the conversation. Sign up today!
