The Department of Institutional Planning & Data Governance (IPDG) at Brock University plays a critical role supporting data-informed decision-making and strategic planning. IPDG provides the university with accurate, timely, and actionable insights. Whether it’s preparing enrolment forecasts for budget planning, supporting academic program reviews with robust data sets, or responding to complex government reporting requirements, IPDG consistently delivers with accuracy and professionalism.
Beyond routine reporting, the team actively contributes to university-wide initiatives such as strategic enrolment management, survey development, and world university rankings support. IPDG works with faculties, departments, and senior leaders to ensure that data is not just collected, but understood and applied in meaningful ways.
