About me
Hello. My name is Zong Her, Institutional Research & Data Management Director at Madison Area Technical College. Most of my professional experience has been in Institutional Research (IR) & Effectiveness, watching the field evolve from being mainly about quantitative/qualitative research to data science, straddling both IR and IT. With the shift to big data, it's no longer just about data for federal/state/accreditation compliance, but data as a treasure trove of information, waiting to be joined and mined for insight. Latest game changer for my field is generative AI. This is such a big impact in so many fields. My perception is that if we do not leverage this tool, mitigating its weakness while capitalizing on its advantage, we would be far behind other countries. To give back to the field, I am teaching a Generative AI for Data Analysis course so others can also benefit from this technology. I am a SDP-CTE ECMC Foundation Fellow from cohort #2.I currently serve as an SDP Alumni Board Member.
My team performs institutional research, data analytics/data mining and reporting/dashboard creation. My hobbies include gardening and home renovations.
