Universities are swimming in data but often grapple with data silos and reporting challenges. Like many other universities aiming for more informed decision-making, Lehigh University engaged in developing a data lake built on AWS infrastructure. This initiative allows us to integrate structured and unstructured data to leverage our data lake for student success initiatives, predictive and prescriptive analytics, reporting needs, and operational efficiency. The data lake has allowed us to make better data-informed decision-making on student outcomes and institutional effectiveness. This session will discuss our process and lessons learned for building our data lake from a technical, data governance, and data literacy perspective.
