University Registrar Todd Mildon has another reason to read the May edition of The Successful Registrar: he’s featured in it!
Mildon was interviewed for the newsletter’s regular “Leaders and Innovators” column, which features prominent Registrars from universities across the nation. In his interview, Mildon focused on a subject near to his heart: data. He spoke on the need for rigorously-defined data and for making that data available throughout the campus community. Specifically, spoke about the UW’s Enterprise Data Warehouse project and the importance of institutional data in the 21st century:
” ‘…American education is a great story of success,’ Mildon said. Data explains why and how the success occurs.” Mildon went on to say that reliable data allow him “to tell [the University's] story in the way people expect stories to be told in the 21st century.”
Additionally, a sidebar to the article discusses how the Office of the University Registrar participated in “The Long Journey Home” project in 2007-08. That effort ensured that hundreds of UW students with Japanese ancestry who were forcibly interned in the 1940s received honorary degrees.
Wiley Periodicals, publishers of The Successful Registrar, graciously agreed to allow us to publish the interview in its entirety on this blog.
