The Office of Analytics and Institutional Research works closely with the entire Dickinson community to provide relevant data and analysis for evaluation, assessment, and planning purposes. We provide support to senior management, administrative offices, and college-wide committees for strategic decision making and policy development. We collect data using surveys, focus groups, and interviews to understand how our campus community is functioning and identify areas of strength and those in need of improvement. We are the central source for external and internal reporting of college information as well as collecting and analyzing institutional data. With the vast amount of data and information this office compiles about the college, we are interested in collaborating with offices and individuals to enact necessary change through the useful reporting and explanation of data and analysis.
