Each year, the Office of Institutional Effectiveness is responsible for a number of recurring surveys, reports and projects that Ohio Wesleyan University participates in, for internal or external purposes.
To help facilitate this work, OIE has listed an overview of those projects below. The participation and completion dates are subject to change each year. Not listed are surveys or projects that vary each year, those are facilitated by other offices at OWU, or are requested on an ad hoc basis.
