CR Institutional Research

Mission Statement for CR Institutional Research

The mission of Institutional Research at the College of the Redwoods is to provide consistent and accurate information that fosters student success, institutional effectiveness, and a culture of evidence and inquiry.

The Institutional Research Office will work with college campuses, divisions, departments and programs to support collaborative and data-driven decision-making by:

• maintaining a central collection of data for evidence-based decision-making;
• providing the tools and training for college employees to access and interpret the information they need;
• overseeing data integrity from collection and entry to storage, retrieval, access, analysis and use;
• providing leadership for required external accountability reports; and
• sharing data and information proactively with all college stakeholders (faculty, staff, board of trustees, students and community members) to support institutional goals.
