As a university expanding to meet the current needs of students, research must be conducted relative to conditions, facilities and equipment most conducive to the learning process. The Office of Institutional Studies has actively pursued such research. As a result, various proposals have been written and funded that resulted in several thousand dollars worth of equipment and materials, being added to U M R classrooms. Under the supervision of this office, a Counseling and Testing Center has been established for U M R students. The Center is staffed by doctoral level counselors who assist students in their educational, vocational and emotional adjustment. All of this has aided in the further growth of U M R as a true University. Lynn Martin Director of Institutional Research
