About

The Office of Assessment and Decision Support (OADS) provides leadership and coordination in data analytics, institutional research, and assessment in support of students, faculty and staff, and the achievement of University mission and goals.

The Office of Assessment and Decision Support (OADS) was established in 2011, bringing together and expanding upon the functions of the former Office of Planning and Institutional Research with additional analytical and assessment-related elements to strengthen the connection between assessment of student learning and institutional assessment.

Today, the OADS team is trusted for broad-based, integrative understanding of Georgetown context, data and for methodological expertise. Team members are leaders in a broader university community of data-analytic practice that provides decision support in service to:

• A thriving, values-centered community
• Continuous improvement of academic programs & inquiry
• University planning
• Academic, financial and operational management
