I’m pleased to announce that Dr. Tara Mastrorilli has accepted the position of Interim Director of the Office of Institutional Research (OIR), effective Saturday, July 1, 2017. Tara joined the OIR in 2015 as an Institutional Research Specialist following seven years as a Senior Research Associate for Metis Associates, a national research and consulting firm based in New York. Prior to that, she served for one year each at Baruch College and John Jay College. She received her BA in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Delaware, and both her MA and PhD in Educational Psychology from The Graduate Center, CUNY. I am confident that her deep background in research and data analytics will ensure thr continued smooth operation of the OIR throughout the coming year.

We will undertake a national search to fill the Director position on a permanent basis during the fall semester. In the meantime, please join in welcoming Tara to her leadership role in the OIR.
