The assessment and planning team works each day to ensure the Division of Student Affairs is collecting and using data to better serve and support students at IU Indianapolis. Through surveys, focus groups, strategic planning, and analysis, we ensure the division can understand student learning and development and put in place best practices for student success.

2024-29 Student Affairs strategic plan
We are launching the next iteration of our strategic plan, informed by the recommendations from our last program review. Our plan focuses on three strategic priorities: Assessment, Planning, and Programming; Staff Development and Support; and Communication. You can review goals, action items, and metrics for each priority and look forward to progress reports at least twice per year.
