The Office of Institutional Effectiveness is creating a “Think Tank” comprised of volunteer faculty and staff, to discuss various approaches to improve data collection and informational analysis. All stakeholders are invited to the discussion table.

Those interested in thinking about and proposing new ways to gather and use data and information regarding institutional research and planning are encouraged to join us.

A series of five meetings will be conducted this month. The locations and times are listed below. You need only attend the meeting on your respective campus and not each one. A compilation of the group’s determinations will be available on our web site by the end of this semester. New approaches will be implemented beginning Fall of 2005. Follow up meetings will be conducted if necessary.
