Alison Lanski

Alison Lanski drives innovation in the use of data to support the mission of the Mendoza College of Business. Through process, infrastructure, reporting, and data literacy improvements, she aims to help everyone in the college increase the effective value of their data. In addition to her position in the Dean's Office, Alison also serves as a Term Assistant Teaching Professor of IT, Analytics, and Operations, where she teaches courses related to business analytics, coding, and data communication for undergraduate and professional students.

Alison came to Mendoza from the Institutional Research, Innovation & Strategy (formerly OSPIR) at Notre Dame, where she provided analyses to decision-makers, managed and created ETL data flows, and contributed to the development of dataND. She gained additional practical technical and pedagogical expertise through prior roles on campus, including Business Intelligence, the Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence, and the Department of Classics. At heart, Alison is just a nerd who loves languages: ancient, modern, coding, and data. Outside of academics, Alison plays ultimate and will probably try to recruit you for South Bend's summer league.
