ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University is committed to continuous improvement in its data governance practices. Our organization aims to foster a culture of data-driven decision-making. Data governance training is essential for organizations to manage their data effectively, ensuring it is accurate, secure, and used responsibly.

ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University Data Literacy Program

Data Literacy Training has arrived at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University for staff and faculty!  The training can be accessed in the HR Training Nest on the LUConnect page, using LEA Account credentials. For any login difficulties, reaching out to the HR department is advised. 

Training sessions have been assigned to support ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University’s campus-wide data governance goals.

Employees are encouraged to complete the courses as part of a structured pathway that strengthens ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University’s data culture.

Data Governance Foundations – Level 1

Level 1 includes the following courses, available in the HR Training Nest:

• Texas DIR: Introduction to Data Literacy
