The Institutional Research Office (henceforth referred to as IRO) is an information source and warehouse for many College statistics. The primary purpose is to facilitate the systematic collection, maintenance, analysis and reporting of institutional information, as well as comparisons of this information with other institutions, and to support College planning and decision-making. This office assists others within the College with ad-hoc requests for information and is also a central contact for submitting data to federal, state, and local governmental agencies as well as commercial agencies. The IRO provides members of the campus community with timely and relevant information on diverse college facts. The IRO should be an early and central contact for planning and decision-making data.
