Research and Planning

The Assistant Dean for Research and Planning works collaboratively with all the units of the Division of Student Affairs and with other offices of the University administration on a wide range of issues. The Assistant Dean not only helps the Dean identify areas in need of research but also designs, conducts, and reports on research findings, and presents the results of these studies to senior management for use in strategic planning and policy development. The Assistant Dean advises senior management in the assessment and evaluation of programs and services through student feedback in the form of surveys and focus groups. The Assistant Dean also advises and assists various units in responding to internal and external data requests.
