Mission

The mission of University Reporting & Research (URR) is to provide the university administration with information that supports institutional planning, policy formation and decision making; by coordinating responses to inquiries for university-related information and serving as a comprehensive source for information about the institution and its campuses.

In fulfilling this mission, the URR collects, edits, and analyzes information, and disseminates it in a timely and effective manner. The URR is responsible for the design and production of routine and ad hoc reports for internal constituencies, federal, state, and other external agencies. The URR assists the University with the development and maintenance of integrated databases that incorporate University historical data from multiple sources in ways that inform and advise University policy.
