Welcome Ashley Fuller
The Assessment and Program Evaluation team is excited to welcome Ashley Fuller to IR&DS. Ashley holds a PhD in Resource Policy and Behavior from the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and Environment. Ashley has also been active in post-doc affairs, supporting career development initiatives for post-docs at UCLA. We’re glad to welcome Ashley back home to farm: she completed bachelors and master’s degrees here at Stanford. In IR&DS, Ashley will focus on analysis and reporting of survey and evaluation data.
Welcome Brian O'Leary
Brian O'Leary has joined IR&DS on a short-term basis, to develop documentation and training for the first release of the new Student Integrated Reporting and Information System (SIRIS). Brian is an experienced instructional designer from Lasselle-Ramsay, and we are delighted to have his help on the project.
In the Spotlight
SIRIS
(Student Integrated Reporting and Information System)
IR&DS has been partnering with Administrative Systems (AS) and campus-wide representatives, to build a better system for reporting on student data -- the Student Integrated Reporting and Information System (SIRIS). Goals for the new system include easier reporting across time, and more convenient ways to group and analyze data -- SIRIS will make it possible to do kinds of reporting that have previously been very difficult or not even possible. More information about the first release of the new system will be available soon, sometime this spring.
