The University of Illinois Springfield is engaged in development of a Strategic Compass that will guide the university for the next ten years. Unlike traditional strategic plans, the concept of a strategic compass is to produce a less rigid guide that will focus organizations on intentional and evidence-based decision making when confronted with challenges and opportunities during pursuit of their full potential.
The Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness (OIRE) leads UIS’ efforts to foster a culture of continuous improvement, strategic planning, and evidence-based decision-making. Through collaboration with academic and administrative units, OIRE supports initiatives that enhance student learning, institutional operations, and overall effectiveness.
