OIR MISSION & STAFF
Office Goals
Within the stated mission and priorities, the goals of the Office of Institutional Research are as follows.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive data and information systems required for institutional study, management, and planning. These systems link data across administrative lines and provide focused institutional data and information necessary for concentrated analysis of issues significant to the institution;
- Provide in-depth, substantive analysis of selected topics upon request, with data and reports as appropriate in order to assist with the translation of data into usable information;
- Provide consistent, reliable data, statistics, and reports as appropriate and as mandated to external agencies and entities and engage in data exchanges and studies with peer institutions;
- Function as an information center for the aggregation of data and literature compiled in ongoing, documented studies and projects and for the rich and wide-ranging mass of historical data maintained by OIR and other University offices;
- Provide data and other support for the University's planning process and associated review, evaluation, and assessment activities;
- Work collaboratively with other units across campus to ensure accurate data is maintained and to assist in campus-wide data integration.
- Proactively scan the national and state higher education social and political environments in order to remain aware of issues which may affect UGA.
- Actively support and encourage high levels of professional training, competence, and expertise on the part of OIR personnel in order to encourage knowledgeable participation in and support of ongoing institutional activity.
