A nexus is a connection or series of connections linking two or more things. As such, this page is meant to connect decision makers at Ferris State Univesity with relevant data sources in an intuitive and interactive way. I plan to make a variety of dashboards, graphs, and interactive documents available from here.

Access

None of the resources below contain personally identifiable information (PII). However, these analyses are meant primarily for the use of Ferris faculty, staff, and administrators. Therefore, I have added auth0 authorization to the reports. This does not work as single signon from your Ferris account. You will, however, need to use a valid Ferris email to access the projects. Just create an account with your email and a password that you can remember.
