NACUBO's Talk About Data and Analytics (TADA) returns this year with a series of five interactive sessions where attendees are in the driver’s seat. As active participants, you will explore different ways you can leverage data and analytics by engaging in facilitated discussion and hands-on activities.

What skills can help make the most of an artificial intelligence (AI) model? Knowing how to communicate effectively with AI—a set of skills known as prompting—helps users clearly convey goals and instructions to generate an appropriate and desired outcome. In this TADA, facilitators will provide a short introduction to AI; discuss use cases that support business, finance, and operations functions; and describe how effective prompting can assist in these applications. You’ll have the opportunity to put these skills to the test, share your findings with peers, and walk away with a baseline of your strengths and weaknesses.

This session will present global and national risk data, and actionable strategies tailored for higher education leaders. Topics will include the impact of federal executive actions on institutional funding, the evolving insurance and markets landscape, crisis communication missteps, and the critical importance of risk management frameworks.

NACUBO was excited to host the NACUBO 2025 Annual Meeting in the Washington, DC metro. Watch select session recordings​ to explore how we can amplify our voices within your team, your institution, and higher education through leadership, innovation, and collaboration.

In a rapidly evolving policy landscape, NACUBO policy experts will provide a timely update on federal funding negotiations, executive orders, and regulatory developments affecting higher education. Hear how recent federal actions—particularly the FY26 budget proposal and efforts in Congress to advance a comprehensive tax package—may reshape student aid, institutional operations, research funding, and the tax treatment of students, employees, and institutions. Proposals under consideration include significant cuts to campus-based aid programs, elimination of subsidized and Grad PLUS loans, new risk-sharing requirements, and potential changes to tax benefits and reporting obligations. As Congress moves forward with appropriations and tax legislation, the NACUBO team will break down what business officers need to know and offer actionable insights to help institutions prepare for financial and operational impacts in the months ahead.

In this presentation, attendees will gain insights into WKU's transition to a responsibility center management (RCM) budget model, the methodologies employed by the finance team in tuition revenue analysis and fee structuring, and the establishment of forward-looking financial plans.

NACUBO Consulting offers free, 30-minute webinars throughout the year and makes the recordings available in this bundle.
