Good morning,

I'm part of the 2025–2026 CIRIS (Center for Institutional Research in Independent Schools) Data Governance cohort, focusing on standardizing data to support best practices and improve consistency across schools.

The cohort is developing a data dictionary and governance standard for independent schools, and if you oversee data of any kind at an independent school, your input would be enormously helpful.

The survey below begins with a short overview of the project. I'd love for you to share your perspective-especially on the Advancement/Alumni Relations section, though you're welcome (and encouraged!) to respond to any areas relevant to your work.

Thanks so much for your time and insights.

Best,

Stephanie
