Data Trustee or Steward Resources

Data Trustees and Stewards at the University of Missouri are entrusted with the critical responsibility of overseeing and safeguarding our institutional data. This section is dedicated to supporting your role by providing comprehensive resources that ensure data integrity, security, and accessibility. Here, you’ll find guidelines on data governance, best practices for data management, and tools to help you maintain the quality and compliance of the data you oversee.

Whether you are setting data policies, managing access, or collaborating with analysts and users, these resources are designed to empower you in upholding the highest standards of data stewardship. Our goal is to support you in your efforts to protect and enhance the value of our institutional data assets.

The Data Concierge Community Forum was created to enable data users across campus to ask and answer questions cross-departmentally. The ultimate goal of this forum is to truly be a community. We all have equal ownership and responsibility and everyone of all levels is welcome. This community is useful for Trustees & stewards to participate in. Please answer questions and review regularly to see what types of questions are asked and by whom.
