Excellence for All, Grounded in Equity and Results

The Office of Inclusive Excellence and Institutional Effectiveness (IEIE) leads UMB's efforts to assess institutional performance, drive continuous improvement, and advance strategic priorities. IEIE partners with schools, units, and community partners to turn data into action, strengthening the university's teaching, research, service, and engagement.

IEIE helps create the conditions for informed decisions, improved outcomes, and a community where people feel valued, connected, and able to thrive.

IEIE provides data to our institutional partners and leads capacity-building efforts that strengthen the shared knowledge, skills, and practices needed to understand impact, guide informed decisions, implement improvements, and advance institutional effectiveness.

Our Commitment

Rooted in UMB’s core values of equity and justice, our work connects the University’s strategic plan goals to measurable outcomes, assessment, and accountability systems. We believe that a university committed to improving the human condition must reflect that commitment in how it measures performance, plan for the future, and support every member of its community.
