IR Vision Statement
Develop the capability to turn information into a strategic asset available to all decision-makers when and where it is needed to maximize the institution’s effectiveness and increase student success.
IR Mission Statement
The mission of the Institutional Research and Planning Office is to have a tangible impact on decision-making, planning, and policy formation at Camden County College and to be an active partner in the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work at the institution. The Office will coordinate the College’s official response to external mandates to comply with State and Federal regulations. In addition, the Office will proactively educate the College’s internal stakeholders on evidence-based planning and decision-making by providing timely analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data.
