Best, Cinnamon *Analyst Community of Practice Overview*: Institutional Research & Decision Support (IRDS) launched the Analyst Community of Practice in 2017 and currently convenes 4 presentations/events annually designed to engage the broader community of analysts on campus. This Analyst Community of Practice will provide a source of networking and professional development for analysts on campus. We define ?analyst? broadly as any professional who provides data or information to support campus planning and decision making. Our goals for this community are that analysts will (a) identify colleagues they can connect with and discuss issues with, (b) improve their skills and exposure to new data sets and/or data tools, and (c) as a community, work to help improve collaboration and resource sharing across teams/units in providing data on campus. Relevant topics may include tools (e.g., Qualtrics, Cognos, Excel, Tableau), methods (e.g., analytic approaches, statistical methods), and communication/delivery processes (e.g., data visualizations, understanding and presenting data/insights, getting buy in, facilitating collaboration, success metrics). *To sign up for the listserv visit*: http://lists.ucmerced.edu/mailman/listinfo/analyst_community_of_practice -- Cinnamon L.
