This professional development experience is appropriate for new and veteran employees in various departments across campus. From analysts to data scientists, from directors to researchers, there is something for everyone! If you’re interested in higher education data and data visualization in Tableau, then this event cannot be missed.

Guest Speaker: Audrey Williams-June

Audrey Williams June is an award-winning, veteran journalist who has written about higher education for more than two decades. As The Chronicle of Higher Education’s news data manager, she explores and analyzes data to uncover higher-education trends, insights, and stories.

She has built several areas of expertise since arriving at The Chronicle, in 2001, including the academic job market, faculty pay, and efforts to diversify the faculty. She has also worked as a business reporter for The Charlotte Observer, and as an environmental reporter for The Telegraph, in Macon, Ga. She is a graduate of Florida A&M University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism, with a minor in economics.
