Over the course of this school year, the Office of Research and Economic Development worked through various channels to listen to the needs of faculty and researchers. Based on this feedback, the Office of Research and Economic Development has purchased a university-wide license for both Qualtrics and Stata. 

Each MSU faculty and staff member now can download Qualtrics and STATA for use. Qualtrics is a powerful online survey tool to create surveys, polls, and collect feedback using a wide variety of features and question types. Stata is a complete, integrated software package that provides data science needs—data manipulation, visualization, statistics, and automated reporting. 

“I appreciate the many faculty and researchers, along with each college’s associate dean for research, who have provided valuable input during this process,” said Interim Vice President for Research and Economic Development Julie Jordan. “We want all of our faculty to have the tools they need, and we hope these university-wide software licenses will aid in carrying out their important work.” 

Information Technology Services has created pages with information and resources on how to download and use Qualtrics and Stata.
