Brock’s Department of Institutional Planning & Data Governance (IPDG) seeks to empower every person at Brock University with the ability to make evidence-based decisions. We are committed to recognizing the importance of communication and encouraging open dialogue as it relates to strategic enrolment management. Through the collection, evaluation, and organization of enrolment, survey, and other institutional data, we will continue to support the leaders of the institution in their pursuit of improving institutional effectiveness and overall student success.
