Institutional Research
Kirkwood's Institutional Research office works to develop data that informs decisions that advance the college’s goals through the collaborative creation and stewardship of knowledge.
“I visited a university and it just was huge for me, coming from a small town; it was almost a culture shock in a way. And I just wasn’t really mentally or physically ready for that yet. Coming to Kirkwood, I was seeing people that I know on the visits, and they were welcoming me with a smile. I was like, 'OK, this is where I need to be.'â€
