We provide analytic and reporting information related to:

  • Resource allocation decisions;

As needed, we conduct surveys (students, alumni, faculty/staff and employers) and special research studies to assist in policy making and decision making.

We empower people to seek, find, and understand information. We serve the university community to the best of our ability, embracing the highest levels of quality in service, communication, and professionalism.
