We coordinate and participate in carious ongoing institutional data collection and reporting activities, special projects, and periodic plans and reports. Our functions involve developing and maintaining information files, consulting with administrators, faculty, and staff in responding to information request, and assisting inquirers in locating appropriate data sources. As a central collection of information on the college, the IERP office maintains the Pellissippi State Fact Book.
