Current Initiatives
Enrollment Data Analytics Task Force
Utilizing data about Tech students, this task force is leveraging university expertise in business intelligence via College of Business faculty and senior capstone students to examine factors in student retention and recruitment, and develop proposals on how to best use this intelligence.
Task Force
- Tom Timmerman (chair)
- Curtis Armstrong, Professor of Decision Sciences & Management
- Allen Mullis, Executive Director of Student Success
- Judy Riggsbee, Senior Director of Enrollment Data & Systems
University Compensation Study
Tennessee Tech engaged the services of a professional consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the compensation levels and structure among faculty and staff. As a major determinant of the attraction and retention of talented employees, the compensation plan plays a key role in driving the effectiveness and efficiency of employees’ daily work.
New Initiatives
Additional projects related to stewardship are being pursued including:
- Additional analytics projects related to retention and the Launchpad Advising Center.
- An interactive dashboard to promote budget understanding and transparency.
- Feasibility of an Asset Management System to better track and maintain the physical assets on campus.
