Welcome to the Office of Assessment and Institutional
Research. This office supports and advances the strategic goals
of the university by providing official comprehensive, timely and
user-friendly information for institutional planning, policy formation,
decision-making and evaluation projects and processes. In addition
to ensuring the accuracy of university data, OAIR coordinates responses
for internal and external accountability mandates and requests for
information about the campus. OAIR also develops survey instruments
and coordinates the implementation of university-wide surveys.
