Decoding DATA & HIGHER EDUCATION with Dr. Laura Latta

Asemio Decoded

Jess and Aaron are back for Season 3 with a fresh lineup of social service experts, passionate good-doers, and humanitarian champions to talk social impact, data, technology, and how these forces come together to improve our impact on our communities. Welcome back to Asemio Decoded!

This month, we bring you a conversation with Dr. Laura Latta of the Tulsa Higher Education Consortium (THEC). THEC is committed to advancing student learning, improving student success and degree completion, achieving equity in outcomes, and meeting workforce needs by working collaboratively to increase higher education opportunities in the region. The Consortium brings together higher education institutions across Oklahoma to establish and work towards common goals that better the education process for students.

Laura joined us to talk about the work happening at the Consortium, her journey across multiple roles in the education space, and how leading this unique organization has been the dream job she didn't know she wanted. Learn about the critical role that data and information play in the day-to-day at THEC and its member institutions, how collaboration helps administrators to challenge the status quo, and how language in the "helping field" is ever-evolving as we continue to learn and change.

Tune in monthly for more fascinating and relevant conversations with some of the country's leading experts in social impact work.
