 versity.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=165&proposalid=16537\n\n\n\nHigher educat
 ion institutions face unique challenges in advancing data governance while 
 balancing equity, compliance, and innovation. This session shares insights 
 from San Diego Community College District’s (SDCCD) ongoing data jour
 ney, highlighting lessons learned in building governance foundations and pr
 eparing for responsible AI adoption.\n\nThis Higher Education Data Governan
 ce & EDW Affinity Group provides a peer-driven forum aligned with other
  DGIQ-EDW (Enterprise Data World) Affinity Groups, emphasizing shared exper
 iences and practical discussion rather than formal presentation. \n\nD
 rawing from SDCCD’s work aligned with Vision 2030 and the California 
 Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCO) Data Governance & A
 nalytics Workgroup (DGAW), the facilitator will introduce discussion prompt
 s grounded in real-world governance and EDW efforts. These prompts will foc
 us on breaking down silos, building trust in data, and supporting data-info
 rmed decision-making across a multi-college district. Participants are enco
 uraged to share challenges, lessons learned, and approaches that complement
  broader DGIQ-EDW themes around governance, analytics, and AI readiness, wh
 ile building connections that extend beyond the conference.\n\n
 Aligning data governance foundations with institutional strategy and priori
 ties\n
 Breaking down siloed systems to improve confidence in shared reports and me
 trics\n
 Scaling stewardship, data literacy, and compliance in decentralized environ
 ments\n
 Supporting equity, access, and student success through trusted data practic
 es\n
 Preparing governance and data foundations for responsible AI adoption\n
 Navigating change management across IT, IR, academic, and executive stakeho
 lders\n\nWe receive many requests from conference participants to meet othe
 r attendees from the same industry or with similar interests. These Af
 finity Groups will enable you to meet others from your indus
 try who have very similar challenges and questions, and to share experience
  in addressing those issues. Each group will have an experienced leader to 
 guide the conversation, but the purpose is mostly to encourage conversation
  between group participants, and hopefully carry over these networking oppo
 rtunities into useful ongoing professional connections.\n\n\n
