The Association for Institutional Research (AIR), EDUCAUSE, and the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) are three national associations that collectively serve nearly 2,500 institutions and represent more than 80% of postsecondary students in the U.S. (22 million students). We believe that higher education must reenergize its efforts and unleash the power of data and analytics across higher education to support students and fulfill their institutional missions.

The work of our three associations is ongoing and would not be possible without dedicated engagement from our members. The institutional researchers, information technology professionals, business officers, and many other higher education leaders who have provided their time and expertise to develop and review the resources and materials on Change With Analytics are listed below.

Change With Analytics Playbook

In 2022, our three associations received a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop the playbook. Beginning in February 2023, representatives from seven colleges and universities joined in the effort to develop and review the 16 plays currently available in the playbook.
