The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) provides a lot of snapshot reports of national education data, but it also produces projections of educational statistics out ten years that can prove useful. Unfortunately, they're always a couple years behind the curve, so this is from the 2012 report (the 2013 report is out, but only available in pdf format.)
It tells an interesting story of college enrollment that can be helpful as we look into the future. By 2021, overall enrollment will increase with the US population; it will still be mostly Caucasian students, although that majority will have shrunk; and Hispanics will have overtaken African-Americans as the second largest ethnic group.
If your institution isn't thinking about the future, and especially if your administration is still dominated by people who went to college in the 1960's and 1970's, you should show them this.
Is this a case of everything changing? Or everything staying the same? Let me know what you think.

This is a great example of how Data Visualization helps tell a story.
First, take a look at this table of data and tell me what you see. I know, right? Not much stands out of a table of black numbers on a white canvas.
Now look below. It's pretty much the same data (I did not display SME), but it shows you a pattern you see instantly. This is the percent of people by age who are enrolled in any school, from pre-school to graduate programs. On the first view, you see the pattern by age group; each line is a gender/ethnic group (white females, Hispanic males, etc.) Right away, the story jumps out at you. In very early years, white students are enrolled at greater rates. From ages 6-15, things even out, then they split again. (Causality, coincidence, or co-variance with data you don't see?)
The view starts with 1995, but use the slider in the top right corner to scroll through the years. When you do, you'll see the consistency over time is another story element. We've made some, but not enough, progress in getting non-white kids to stay in school in greater numbers.
Another point: African-American and Hispanic women are more likely to be in school in their early 30's than other groups, especially recently.
The second tab shows females and males by age group over time. This time, use the slider to change the age category. What's the story here? Positive trends for almost all groups; but--sorry guys--women are always a couple steps ahead of you. As it is in life, so it is in education.
What else jumps out at you? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I know this is bad for my health and it's bombarded with calories but I just can't helped it! I'm glad that I was introduced to this native Filipino food while I was a kid and since then I was captivated. Too bad most people in this generation don't have the idea that this Filipino confection exist. I've seen somewhere in Youtube a recipe on how to make this but it's not the original one. The latest version of this confection has peanuts or almonds in it. In my case, I just want my tira tira candy plain without the nuts and everything. This candy is my instant energizer when I need an instant sugar rush and it's oh so natural. The ingredients are just muscovado or brown sugar and coconut milk. Today, they added glucose to the recipe and I don't have any idea why. LOL!
This tira tera candy (above image) is the best of them all. It's not gooey and when you take a bite, it crushes easily and turns into a powder and melts in your mouth. It's like eating a meringue. I keep looking for the recipe of this tira tera candy but can't find one.
This version of the tira tera candy is somewhat 70% similar or the mediocre version of the above photo. But for me, nothing can beat the one above.
This version is hard and gooey and it's difficult to chew. This will better be sucked and not chewed or else your teeth will fall off. LOL!
In comparing the two, the physical form somewhat gives you the impression already that this version compared to the version above is likely of lower quality. The above version is more pleasing by only judging on the form, texture and packaging. I hope somebody will post the best recipe of this candy. Anyway, I've seen somewhere on television a similar confection like this in Vietnam and they call it Ben Tre. I'm wondering if they do have the same taste and texture though in their version they come in squares not rolled. Assuming that tira tera candies and Ben Tre are the same, the equivalent calorie measurement on each candy is around 100+. I would not advise you to eat more than one (1) of this candy unless when needed. Eat moderately people! LOL!
Update:
I've finally found the recipe to make your tira-tera candy powdery soft and not gooey. All you need to do is to decrease the amount of the coconut milk. Too much coconut milk will harden the consistency thus making it gooey. That's it! So simple!!!

Here's some more interesting information from the IIE Open Doors Project, but this is not about where US students study overseas, but where students from overseas enroll in the US. This is pretty simple, actually.
Each dot on the map represents a college or university (hover over for details). The size of the dot represents the International Student population in 2012, and the color represents the percentage of enrollment at that college or university that is international (that is, on a J-1 or F-1 Visa, presumably; permanent residents are not considered international students.) The bar charts below show every IHE with both the number of international students (right column) and percentage of all enrollment that is international (on the left.)
You can use the filters to narrow down the IHEs displayed, by choosing the number of international students, the percent international, or the percent of all enrollment that is international. And you can sort the bar charts by hovering over the small icon that appears when you hover over the top of the bar chart. Clicks cycle through displays. The circular arrow at the bottom resets it all.
Note: The IIE data does not break out enrollment by graduate/undergraduate, so I cannot calculate the percentage of undergrads or graduate students who are international. The only thing I can show is the total international population as a percentage of all students enrolled.

Lots of US college students study abroad, and the IIE Open Doors Project has great data about where they go; if you're a member, they graciously make even more detailed data about what colleges and universities they attend.
So I took that data and rolled it (from 2012) into my IPEDS data set (from 2013) to see what jumped out at me. On this visualization, you can sort the top chart several ways to see who comes to the top of the list: Alphabetically, by the number of students studying abroad, by the percent of all enrollment or the percent of undergraduate enrollment. Just hover over the top of that column until the small icon pops up, and click on it. It will sort ascending, descending, and alphabetically with subsequent clicks.
Note, I've taken a few institutions out because they are mostly graduate and thus have undergrad/study abroad percentages off the charts.
The bottom chart is more interesting, I think, for the pattern it shows: For public institutions, a higher percentage of freshman with no institutional aid (full pay) translates into a lower percentage of students studying abroad. For private institutions, it's just the opposite. Does that suggest anything to you?
Note: An update. I was asked how this can show an institution sending 15% of its students overseas while that institution claims 50% of its students do so. The IIE data is for a single year, and it does include graduate students, so it's not perfect. Thus, it's possible that 15% study overseas in one year, but over time, half the students at an institution do.

As we continue the push to enroll and graduate more students from colleges, it's interesting to look back at trends in degrees awarded, at the Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral levels over time. So, I downloaded data from the Digest of Education Statistics and came up with this.
At the very top level, we see that the number of degrees awarded has increased dramatically since 1970, although of course so has the population: It's up about 51% since 1970, while degrees awarded increased 138%, while bachelor's degrees increased just 113%. You can't say after looking at those statistics, however, whether we've been successful or not; along with the increase in population comes shifts in age distributions, as well as ethnicity and wealth, all of which affect the likelihood of going to college.
Still, the interesting stuff comes as you scroll across the gray boxes on the top, and drill down by academic discipline: Decreases in English and Education, and increases in business and health professions at the undergraduate level; increases in some narrowly focused programs at the graduate level.
Play around. Filter and click. What do you find interesting?
