What does it mean to be a Data Maverick?

Whether you are a faculty member, part of Enrollment Management, Facilities, or any other department on campus, being a Data Maverick entails a commitment to awareness, knowledge, and ethical conduct in your data interactions. It involves adhering to guidelines, employing best practices, and maintaining a proactive mindset.

Data permeates every aspect of our operations. It determines classroom capacities, informs facility management, influences talent recruitment, impacts institutional funding, fosters diversity, affects employee and student retention, and forms the foundation for research and innovation, among many other crucial functions. Therefore, it is imperative that we get it right from the outset, recognizing that the data we create, manage, and employ significantly influences UTA's mission and success.
