Institutional Research & Decision Support

Support Institutional Research and Decision Support (IRDS) this One Ball State Day!

At IRDS we are dedicated to training the next generation of institutional researchers, and your contribution is an important part of that success! Your generous contribution will support expenses that would not normally be included in our budget, but greatly enhance the experience of our graduate assistants and interns.

One Ball State Day donations to IRDS help fund opportunities such as travel, conference fees, and training for interns and graduate assistants—experiences that are invaluable to their future careers. Funding may also support initiatives such as team-building activities that include interns and graduate assistants, fostering collaboration and professional growth.

We appreciate all donations. If you’d like to talk to us directly about how your gift may be used, feel free to contact us at 765-285-2191, or set up an appointment at irds@bsu.edu.

On behalf of the team, our grad assistant, and interns, thank you for your generosity!
