Office of the Provost and Information Technology Services Launch New Collaborative Site

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 6, 2017) — The University of Kentucky Institutional Research and Advanced Analytics team, a collaborative effort between the Office of the Provost's Institutional Research team and Information Technology Services’ Advanced Analytics team, announced this week the unveiling of their newly redesigned website, www.uky.edu/iraa.

The website serves as an important portal for distributing university data to both members of the UK community and the public. The goal of the redesign was to provide enhanced online resources and improved access to institutional data.

“We are very excited about the new site and appreciative of the team’s hard work,” said Executive Director of Institutional Research and Lead Data Scientist Craig Rudick. “People will have easier access to better data, which will ultimately lead to better decision making at the university.”

The re-envisioned site provides customers a clean and organized design with an enhanced user experience and seamless navigation. The most important feature of the new design is the Interactive Fact Book, which significantly enhances visitor’s ability to access information, visualize trends and analyze data in meaningful ways. The new site also includes numerous other enhancements, including improved customer support information, explanatory videos and easier access to campus resources.

The Institutional Research and Advanced Analytics team is a collaborative effort to support strategic decisions and initiatives at the university. The team studies past trends, completes detailed analyses, delivers interactive data visualizations and dashboards, and provides official institutional data to external stakeholders.
