The Art & Science of Data
From 2020-2023, the OAAPR and the Office of Institutional Analytics co-hosted a virtual, daylong event to empower participants with training and information on how to leverage data resources to understand their organizations and tell their stories more effectively.
Starting in 2024, the Art & Science of Data is turning into a standalone data track at UNM's Tech Days. This year's Tech Days are April 25-26, 2024.
