Role in the College

The Research Services Department (RS) deals in facts and figures, technical reports, and studies. Our purpose is to provide research and information services to RDC departments, committees, and individuals in fulfillment of academic and planning functions. The office also furnishes information and data required by the provincial and federal government. We generate data, information, and statistical reports as required by the institution.

Information provided by Research Services ranges from simple numeric data to comprehensive reports. Information may also be tailored to meet the special needs of a requestor. Many reports are short summaries that are compiled quickly. Major projects demand detailed planning and implementation and are generally completed over a longer period of time.

The RS team also responds to ad hoc requests from the RDC community and the public for information, data, and statistical reports.
