Laura Massey relocated from Dallas, Texas to become the Director of Institutional Effectiveness at Portland Community College in 2005. She easily left the hot summers behind and continues to attempt to “ditch” the accent as well.? Laura received her undergraduate degree in Business and her MBA (statistics) from the University of North Texas.? She has almost 30 years of experience working in higher education including areas such as Financial Aid, Human Resources, Information Technology and Institutional Research. While in graduate school, Laura taught undergraduate statistics and wishes to apologize to the students who did and did not survive her classes. She has spent the last 17 years working in community college institutional research and continues to be amazed that she gets paid for learning.
