About the Office of Institutional Research
Our office provides information to both internal and external communities. The office keeps our title — Institutional Research — in the forefront at all times to create a balance of data support that truly exemplifies organizational research. In this vein, we have created an IR structure that prioritizes projects/tasks that meet as many needs as possible while maintaining the integrity of the office and the information.
