Vision

The Office of Institutional Research, Planning and Assessment is the primary provider of accurate data and analyses to support informed decision making at Lehman College. It will work collegially with offices throughout the College and the University to ensure that data is readily available and is conveyed in a meaningful way to its constituents. OIRPA will leverage technology to improve efficiencies and to make data easily accessible. The Office will also empower academic and non-academic departments to develop practical assessments that are reliable and valid in order to improve student learning and institutional effectiveness.
