Institutional Research and Effectiveness

Mission

Serve the Stetson community by providing analytical and operational insights, information, and infrastructure to advance our university mission.

Vision

A data-informed culture of continuous improvement in which every person has the tools necessary to succeed, where decision-makers are offered wisdom and insights beyond the data, and systems and automation exist not to simply handle more load but to create more opportunities for meaningful connections in service of student learning and success.

Values

We value our role as service providers with our primary focus on supporting members of the Stetson community in achieving their goals and advancing the mission of the institution. We seek to fully understand the context of each request to provide what will be most helpful, increase data literacy, and promote self-sufficiency. We hold student learning and success at the center of our work and strive to advance equity and belonging. We recognize the importance of efficiency and strong systems while ultimately prioritizing people over process. We are proud members of the Hatter community who enjoy contributing to our spirit of kindness through attending and hosting events. We value adaptability, authentic relationships, clarity, communication, dependability and integrity.

Upcoming Events

  • September 15, 2025: Fourth Annual 9x13 Competition. 
  • The Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness is excited to host the Fourth Annual 9x13 Competition on September 15 from Noon to 1 pm in the Stetson Room. Two great ways to participate:
  • Whether you call it a hot dish or casserole, find out if you are a winner by registering to enter your best dish cooked/prepared in a 9x13 dish. Registration is open until Sept. 1, so submit your registration soon.
  • Don’t have a recipe? Join the fun anyway and vote for your favorite dish.  The IRE team needs you (and your vote) to produce data to crown the winner!  Come by to eat, vote in the competition, and have fun - no RSVP needed to taste test.

  • We can’t wait to crunch the numbers (see what we did there) and enjoy time with our Stetson colleagues. Questions? Call IRE at 822-7599 or email [email protected]
