Colleges are rife with student data, from demographic information to test scores and other performance metrics. This data is increasingly used to inform course offerings and general performance. But colleges may be missing out on using this data to improve social mobility.

Higher-education institutions have an opportunity and (as some argue) a responsibility to improve social and economic outcomes for students. According to a report produced last year by the Institute for Higher Education Policy, high-quality disaggregated data — data that has been meticulously broken in various subcategories — may be the tool to better surfacing barriers and informing targeted strategies to improve these outcomes.

Join us on Tuesday, April 15 at 2 p.m. ET for a new Virtual Forum, “Using Big Data to Improve Social Mobility.” During this session, we’ll cover how you can use emerging technology and data to:

• Improve college access across communities.
• Bolster advisory services and graduation rates.
• Analyze labor market data to ensure curricula alignment.
• Ensure equal opportunity in your campus with data-driven interventions.
