Student Data Network 

Overview

The University of Arizona Student Data Network brings together staff working with student data across different domains. As of Fall 2026, SDN has more than 100 members across the University of Arizona campuses and the University of Arizona Global Campus. The group is co-chaired by representatives from University Analytics and Institutional Research, Student Affairs, and Student Success. 

SDN meets monthly during the academic years. Meetings are held on Zoom, from 9-10 am on the first Friday of the month. SDN meetings are opportunities for members to present new work, discuss changes in our data infrastructure, and spotlight ongoing assessment initiatives.

SDN is open to new members. Are you a staff member working with student data, and interested in joining? Please fill out the interest form.
