Writing & Analysis
In a time of increased accountability, reduced resources, and emphasis on student success, it has become essential to leverage data and analysis for informed, strategic decision-making. This is particularly true as it relates to the internationalization of colleges and universities via education abroad programs, virtual exchanges, foreign language curriculum development, and recruitment of international scholars and faculty. Analyses of data in these and related areas can highlight global and local trends affecting your organization, situate you amongst your current or aspirational peers, measure the effectiveness of new or existing strategies, and serve as an advocacy tool.
Many higher education institutions and organizations (i.e., consortiums of colleges and universities, private, and non-profit businesses, etc.) may not always have the capacity to conduct analyses or produce such reports themselves, which can lead to the development of unsustainable practices and policies, incohesive student success strategies, and inefficient allocation of resources. Gateway can assist institutions and organizations around the world with leveraging data from local, national and international sources, collect new data via surveys, conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses, and distill this information into a format that is easily understood by all stakeholders.
Gateway understands that each institution or organization is unique and has its own needs, and that is why Gateway’s services are customized for each of our partner institutions to accommodate differences in institutional culture, size, and scope. The process is straightforward – Gateway can consult on an hourly basis to address a specific need, provide one or more services as outlined above, conduct an audit of your current data systems and research protocols, and/or assist with developing a new approach to data collection and analysis based on industry best practices.
Simply select one or more of Gateway’s services that best meet the needs of your circumstances and/or submit an inquiry outlining your needs and we will propose a tailored package. Whatever your current data, research and analysis capabilities, Gateway will be your expert partner to help build, reframe or enhance your approach.
