Gary Pratt, Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer for K-State, has been selected to serve on the Executive Committee of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) Commission on Information, Measurement, & Analysis (CIMA). Pratt will serve on the committee for three years.
The executive committee is responsible for positioning the commission as a vehicle to share, discuss, and disseminate innovative ways to combine and leverage data across campus to advance student and institutional success.
“K-State’s presence at the national level will help keep us in the forefront of the conversations in many areas related to data management, governance, analytics, and associated practices,” commented Pratt.
CIMA was founded in November 2014 to create space for APLU institutions to come together to create communities of practice around the effective and efficient use of data to guide campus planning and decision-making. Given the dispersion of activities and responsibilities within an institution that relies on a vast array of data sources, CIMA provides opportunities for cross-functional discussions on creating and improving the data infrastructure and the strategic analysis capacity on campuses.
