Director, Institutional Research and Insights | Kendra Thompson-Dyck
The Institutional Research and Insights Team is responsible for external data submissions to federal and state agencies, higher education organizations, and media publishers. The team also submits data to rankings agencies on behalf of the institution and handles a variety of ad-hoc requests that involve the analysis and interpretation of reporting. Using traditional analysis, as well as data science methods, they are responsible for helping campus stakeholders better understand the implications of externally reported data. The team builds predictive models and peer analyses to better understand the data, gaining insights and extracting knowledge, so that campus users can act strategically. Institutional Reporting team members strive to support and strengthen UAIR's data reporting relationships with the Arizona Board of Regents, Higher Learning Commission, Association for American Universities, and many other external agencies, by meeting all survey deadlines, responding to data requests and questions in a timely manner, and participating in professional exchanges with agencies on behalf of the institution.
