- Report institutional data externally to federal and state agencies, HEDS, ACM, and in response to other requests.
- Provide information internally within the college that bridges the intellectual and social aspects of college life.
- Provide support for the research activities (i.e. survey design, research methodology, assessment techniques, etc.) carried out by other offices, committees and departments on campus.
