The University of Northern Iowa has been featured by the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) in its Postsecondary Data for Action Network Spotlight series, recognizing the university’s use of data to strengthen student retention and success.
The feature includes insights from Kristin Moser, PhD, director of Institutional Effectiveness and Planning, who discusses how UNI leverages data to inform decisions that improve student outcomes.
