- the systematic collection and evaluation of longitudinal data related to the College's long-range plan;
- oversight of the academic and administrative assessment program to provide data to inform institutional decisions; and
- to collect, analyze, and report precise and reliable data to state and federal agencies, publications, and campus constituents on behalf of the College to allow the College to be more effective in achieving its objectives by providing a framework for articulating and evaluating its goals.

- the College President;
- Dean of Faculty;
- SACS-COC;

Our vision in Institutional Effectiveness is to help the College:
- be data informed, not data driven.
- share what we have discovered, and highlight our endeavors to clearly articulate the institution's issues and communicate them with data-informed stories.
- build a culture of evidence through efforts to centralize data.
- engage and empower our campus community.
