Ithaka S+R’s strategic advice and support services help institutions improve their performance and further their missions. We generate action-oriented research for institutional decision-making and act as a hub to promote and guide collaboration across the communities we serve. With our partners, we design and evaluate projects that make higher education, scholarly communication, and cultural collections more accessible to diverse populations.
Our work focuses on four strategic areas:
Access and success
Expanding educational opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds, and improving student learning outcomes, graduation rates, and time to degree
Organizational leadership
Providing guidance on strategic collaborations, organizational structure, and measures of equity, diversity, and inclusion
Collections and preservation
Securing access to and preservation of scholarship
Research and teaching practices
Developing strategies, services, and products to meet the evolving needs of faculty and students
