Welcome to DS Dashboards

We're exploring the applicability of data dashboard technology in the academic setting at the University of Illinois. We're glad to have you on board. Climb in, fasten your seatbelt, and enjoy the ride. We'll continue to build and expand this site until it's like that user manual in the glove box: a wealth of information available whenever you need it (but we hope you'll use the site more than that manual).
