The Office of Data Governance (ODG) was established in 2021 to improve the way WashU manages, accesses and analyzes University data. By creating a comprehensive business glossary & report catalog, while simultaneously, expanding data management, reporting and integration capabilities, WashU will achieve greater efficiencies and effectiveness for future expansion.

Advancing WashU Through Insight-Driven Decision Making

Our Purpose

Our University-wide, data informed vision is built on guiding principles such as:

  • We strive for excellence
  • We hold data policies, procedures, standards, intake processes and promote best practices.
  • We will leverage our executive sponsorship and our broader data stewardship community to span across all data domains.
Data Stewardship Community

WashU’s Data Stewardship Community is a key component enabling a successful Data Governance Program. Through collaboration with executive sponsors, data stewards and data coordinators we will create a sustainable data and analytical data-informed cultural shift.
